NEC compensation events

NEC Compensation Event Consultant

Contractor-side support running the NEC compensation-event process the way the contract intends — notification inside the clause 61.3 time bar, quotations the Project Manager cannot quietly assess down, and a programme kept current so CEs hold their value. NEC rewards discipline; most lost CE value is procedural, not factual.

When to call us

  • CEs are being assessed by the Project Manager at lower values
  • The eight-week notification time bar is in play
  • Quotations are being rejected or revised without clear reasons
  • There is no current Accepted Programme
  • Clause 50.3 retention is being threatened or applied
  • The early-warning process is not really being run

What this covers

  • 01 CE notification and the clause 61.3 time-bar discipline
  • 02 Quotation build: defined cost, fee and risk allowances
  • 03 Programme impact and maintaining the Accepted Programme
  • 04 Challenging Project Manager assessments under clause 64
  • 05 Early warning and risk-reduction meetings
  • 06 Option C / target-cost mechanics, pain/gain and disallowed cost
