When using the Specification for Highway Works (SHW) with NEC3 ECC, what is the best way to structure the contract documents to ensure clarity and avoid ambiguity?
My concern is that whilst the NEC has a clear distinction between Works Information and Site Information, the SHW does not. The SHW is a single suite of documents that includes a mixture of site information and works information clauses.
In addition, the SHW refers to the Overseeing Organisation, whereas the ECC has distinct roles for the Employer, Supervisor and Project Manager.
