Coded warning

Article Abstract:

The main members of the ECA and HVCA have launched a voluntary code of practice which will regulate members' business practices. Members of the group will have to specify finish dates for their work, use normal contracts and have payment terms as specified in JCT contracts. These rules will also be applied to subcontractors. The HVCA's Ductwork Group has also implemented a similar code on its members. Guidance notes have been produced to help members comply with the code. Members cannot be compelled to work within the code and this may cause the system to fall down.
