Short advisory clip by William Doyle MRICS stressing the importance of reading and correctly drafting the contract scope. The speaker warns that under NEC3 there are many contract cross-references (mentions "28 touch points" and suggests "mid-30s") where conditions rely on scope statements, so omissions in the scope can create risks; advises adding extra requirements when drafting scope.
Make sure you read the scope. I can remember in NEC3, there were 28 touch points between the scope and the conditions. I think there's more somewhere in the mid-30s of places in the contract where the conditions talk about the scope and rely on statements in that. So this is a really important area. Make sure you read the scope, and if you're drafting scope, make sure you're putting those extra requirements in there.
