KKJ Consultants provides specialist support for NEC4 contracts, including Options A, C, and E, Early Warning Notices (EWNs), Compensation Events (CEs), and full CEMAR administration to ensure contractual compliance, entitlement protection, and accurate financial control.

What Is NEC4 Quantity Surveying?
NEC4 Quantity Surveying involves managing all commercial, contractual, and financial aspects of projects under NEC4 Engineering & Construction contracts. KKJ Consultants ensures that procedures, notices, and time bars are strictly followed, protecting entitlement, managing risks, and providing audit-ready records for project delivery.

Benefits of NEC4 Quantity Surveying Services:

1. Entitlement Protection: Ensures EWNs and CEs are submitted correctly and on time, avoiding loss of contractual rights.
2. Risk Management: Identification, recording, and monitoring of risks and opportunities using live registers and forecasts.
3. Financial Control: Accurate assessment of Defined Cost, Price for Work Done to Date, and compensation claims maintains project cash flow.
4. Compliance: Strict adherence to NEC4 time bars, procedures, and CEMAR/ASITE administration standards.
5. Efficiency: Provides clear, structured reporting to directors, contractors, and stakeholders to support informed commercial decisions.

How This Service Works:

• Contract Administration: Management of EWNs, CEs, and contractor-submitted claims in full compliance with NEC4 requirements.
• CEMAR and ASITE Administration: Full use of CEMAR software and ASITE software to track, record, and report all contract events, risk registers, and programme impacts.
• Defined Cost Assessment: Accurate calculation and certification of Defined Cost under NEC4 Options A, C, and E.
• Programme & Forecasting: Assessment of cost and time implications of changes, maintaining alignment with project programme and risk management.

Why NEC4 Quantity Surveying Is Essential:

NEC4 is a time-bar driven contract. Failing to follow procedures can result in permanent loss of entitlement, incorrect compensation, or disputes. KKJ Consultants ensures all submissions, notices, and claims are compliant, protecting profit, cash flow, and stakeholder confidence.

Why Timing Matters:

Strict NEC4 time bars apply to EWNs, CEs, and Defined Cost submissions. Late or incorrect notifications can remove entitlement, increase dispute risk, and negatively impact cash flow. Timely, accurate execution ensures all project claims and rights are protected.
