Suitable for any construction-based contract between a Client and a Contractor. It is intended for all sections of the industry, including civil, building, nuclear, oil & gas, etc.
The ECC contract type is the most frequently used contract type from the NEC4 family. It is used in high-profile and everyday projects such as infrastructure, buildings, highways and process plants.
The key parties on the NEC4 ECC type of contract are:

Project Manager
This is the client's role on the contract. The Project Manager is the main contact person in the client organisation to oversee the contract.
Supervisor
The Supervisor works for the Client and checks that the works are constructed following the contract.
Contractor
This outlines the supplier's role in the contract. The Contractor is the main contact person within the Supplier organisation to oversee the contract.
