How to automate your NEC weather Compensation Event reporting every month.

Written by Josh Graham | Jun 10, 2025 11:39:53 AM

If you’re managing projects under NEC contracts, you’ve undoubtedly experienced the stress that comes with adverse weather events. Each time severe weather hits, you’re expected to quickly and meticulously document how it surpasses NEC thresholds, quantify the resulting delays, and submit a compensation event (CE) notification—all within tight contractual deadlines.

The frustrating reality is often worse:

  • Met Office reports cost a significant amount for what they deliver, and you often won’t even know if a weather event qualifies as a compensation event until after you’ve purchased the data.

  • Justifying how a weather event specifically impacted your project above the contractual thresholds is difficult and subjective.

  • Your team is typically already overwhelmed handling the operational fallout from weather-related delays, leaving little time or energy for tedious administrative tasks.

  • Hours are wasted manually gathering unreliable data from various public sources, entering data into spreadsheets, and dealing with disputes over threshold definitions and delays.

  • Eliminates uncertainty around whether a weather event qualifies as a compensation event.

  • Provides bulletproof evidence, minimizing disputes and ensuring fair compensation.

  • Builds a historical weather risk profile, simplifying future time risk allowance (TRA) justifications.
