The provisions on the benefits of the main/general contractor are found in NS 8415 chapter III, NS 8416 paragraph 18 and NS 8417 chapter V.
There is quite a difference between NS 8417 and the two standards in terms of what is dealt with under this topic, and therefore it is not natural to compare. We have therefore not put the provisions into a matrix.
In NS 8417, there are four main categories, namely “Participation of the general contractor” (22), “The Risks of Relationships at the Ground” (23), “The general contractor's choice of solutions and other engineering” (24) and “TUE's review of general contractor benefits. Obligation to notify” (25).
In NS 8415, there are three main categories, namely “Content of the General Contractor's Participation Obligation” (19), “Time of participation of the general contractor” (20) and “Subcontractor's duty to notify” (21).
In NS 8416 it is only one category, namely “Performance of the General Contractor” (18).
We have written two articles dealing with the provisions and topics that in practice create the greatest challenges.
It concerns 1) The risk of conditions at the ground and the physical base of work and ! 2) “Main/General Contractor's engineering and agreed risk transition”.
