Course Objectives:
• Understand when the ECSC is more appropriate than the full ECC—ideal for short-duration, low-value projects
• Learn how ECSC fits within NEC4’s family of contracts and how it differs from ECC
• Discover practical applications for utilities, mining operations, property developers, and even homeowners dealing with small-scale works or refurbishments
• Gain a working knowledge of the entire ECSC contract package, including comparisons with ECC
