NEC4 · ECC 11.2(16)
Scope
Information that describes the works or limits how the Contractor may do them. It sits in documents the Contract Data lists or in an instruction. NEC3 called it Works Information.
“specifies and describes the works” (11.2(16))
On the Aldermere project
Dana's instruction of 1 June 2026 for a flatter embankment slope changed the Scope, so it was a compensation event.
