The NEC Contract: Key Principles in 30 Minutes

Introduction

The NEC Contract has been around for over 30 years but is still in its infancy for industry compared to other familiar contract families. Plus, it contains surprises for the unwary user! Complying with Constructing Excellence principles has enabled NEC to grow in popularity from the ground up. Its ‘pick and mix’ style allows it to be used widely, from the smallest everyday projects to the biggest, most complex ones.

Whatever your part in an NEC-based project, the Contract requires process-driven actions and accountability. Risk management is at the heart of successful deployment. To be a confident and competent NEC user, you need to have at your fingertips the key ground rules and working mechanisms, including project data and contract documents such as Scope. Key contract tools and processes to support activities to manage time, cost and quality will be explored.

This short, introductory webinar is the place to start learning about NEC Contracts and is designed for all individuals involved in construction and engineering projects.
