The Employer included a few drawings for a specific type of work on site. The drawings they have used are from a certain subcontractor.
They are under the impression that they have specified that we use this subcontractor as it is their spec included in the Works Information.
We are asking to use a like for like spec from another subcontractor. They have refused and insist the subcontractor is specified.
Are they even able to specify a subcontractor in the NEC?
If they do wish to specify a subcontractor does it need to be instructed? If instructed are they liable for the lost buy gain going to a compliant spec?
