Disallowed Cost & Schedule of Cost Components under ECC options C, D & E

Disallowed Cost & Schedule of Cost Components under ECC options C, D & E

Why you should attend this workshop?

Disallowed Costs and the Schedule of Cost Components are some of the most complex and emotive areas of NEC3. Unfortunately these parts of the contract are often overlooked pre-contract. Given that the Schedule of Cost Components is the basis of payment under ECC options C, D & E, this can lead to a number of unpleasant surprises.

Structure

' The Basics: What are target and cost reimbursable contracts. How the ECC payment provisions work. Definitions of Fee and Defined Cost, including elements for subcontracting.
' Disallowed Cost: examples that are clear cut and not so clear cut for each bullet.
' The full Schedule of Cost Components: overall structure, nuances and areas of common discussion.
' Auditing: value for money vs. level of assurance.

You will learn about

' Know the background clauses, both core and specific to option C in terms of how payment is assessed.

' Know the structure of the Schedule of Cost Components (SoCC).
