NEC contract

The NEC4 ECC registers for a project whose contract form is an NEC form: compensation events with their clocks, the Early Warning Register and risk-reduction meetings, programme submissions and acceptance, the Price for Work Done to Date (Options A and C) and the defects position. A JCT job never sees this screen. Every due date, deemed acceptance and time bar is worked out from the dates you record; no money moves until a person confirms a CE's implementation.

You enter

NEC settings from the Contract Data: the main Option, fee percentage, starting date, Completion Date, defects date, and any clock the contract changes (blank = the NEC4 default).
Each compensation event: the notification, the quotation and its dates, and the implementation once agreed — or capture them from a notification letter or an existing CE register.
Early warnings as they are given, and the risk-reduction meetings held.
Programme submissions and the acceptance or reasons for non-acceptance.
The PWDD assessment per activity (Option A) or the Defined Cost position (Option C), as of a date.

Saral fills in

Every clock: reply periods, quotation periods, deemed acceptance and the eight-week time bar, counted from the dates recorded, with today's position on each.
The early-warning meeting that is due and the last one held.
The activity schedule seeded from the contract sum analysis, and the PWDD lines put onto the draft application.
The defects position from the Defects period register, against the defects date.
The project's family — NEC or not — from the contract form chosen on Contract & Budget → Contract particulars.

It produces

The compensation-event register and the Early Warning Register, with their clocks.
PWDD lines on the draft application (Valuation → Application) — counted once, through the CE's instruction row.
The NEC menu entry itself: shown only while the project in context runs on an NEC form.

What this page is for

NEC runs on notices and clocks, and the clocks are what people miss. This screen keeps the registers an NEC4 ECC contract requires and does the counting: when a reply is due, when a quotation is deemed accepted, when the time bar closes. It replaces the CE spreadsheet and the early-warning list, not the contract administrator's judgement.

Compensation events and the money

A compensation event changes the Prices and the Completion Date. The time side is recorded here. The money side is never double counted: a CE's value reaches the CVR through its instruction row on the Valuation, so the variation account and the CE register agree by construction. Nothing moves until a person marks the event implemented.

Options A and C

On Option A the PWDD is the completed activities on the activity schedule — seed the schedule from the contract sum analysis, then assess each activity. On Option C it is Defined Cost plus the Fee, with disallowed cost recorded against it. In both cases 'to application' places the assessment on the draft application for review on Valuation → Application.

Who can do what

Anyone with the cost-report read sees the registers. Compensation events, early warnings, settings and PWDD are commercial writes; programme submissions may also be recorded by the programme keeper.

Where next

Review the PWDD lines on QS Valuation → Application, and keep the programme's milestones and EOT position on Programme (for a JCT job the EOT register lives there instead).
