Inhaltsangabe

NEC short form contracts are supposed to be simple.
Shorter documents.
Less administration.
Faster projects.
That is exactly why subcontractors get caught.
Because what these contracts remove is not risk.
It is protection.
The NEC Short Form Before You Sign That Contract is part of the Before You Sign Series; practical, straight-talking guides that show subcontractors what they are really agreeing to before they commit.

• The NEC4 Before You Sign That Contract
• The JCT Before You Sign That Contract
• The NEC Short Form Before You Sign That Contract
• The FIDIC Before You Sign That Contract
• The Utilities and Framework Contracts Before You Sign That Contract

Inside this book, you will learn:

• where risk actually sits in ECSC and ECSS
• how payment and cashflow really behave
• why change and delay are harder to recover
• how Z clauses quietly rewrite the deal
• what is missing from short form contracts, and why it matters

This is not legal theory.
This is how these contracts operate on real jobs.
If you price based on what the contract says, you will miss the risk.
If you understand what the contract does, you can control it.
Because the difference between profit and loss is rarely the work.
It is what you agreed to before you started.

Before you sign anything; read this first.
