We buy in material from a sister company and use subcontract labour.
When pricing an Option A we bundle these costs and hike up to give us a buffer on a project
Lets say 30% margin.
Our Commercial team do not want me to declare a 30% fee percentage in the Part 2 - data to be provided by subcontractor as we don’t want to show our hand to the margins
Instead they want all variation/changes/compensation events to be POA, which i feel is against the spirit of the NEC4 way of working
if the customer is willing, can we note this box as n/a and introduce a Z-clause instead to make compensation events POA at fair and reasonable rates?
Suggestions and comments welcome please?!?
