Masterclass for Consultants and Clients in the NEC Engineering and Construction Contracts
Location: Riddel Hall, Stranmillis Road, Belfast
Date: 26 October 2017
Most publicly funded construction projects inNorthern Irelandrequire the building contractor to be appointed under the NEC3 Construction Contract or its short equivalent.
As client, or as an architect acting on behalf of a client, it is therefore highly beneficial to have an in depth understanding of the contractual commitments between the client and contractor under the NEC3 Construction Contract. Contractors are well versed in this regard and it is essential for the smooth operation of the project that the client and architect are equally well versed. This workshop is pitched at an advanced level for people with a solid understanding of the construction contracts.
NEC4 is now out and will also be covered in this workshop. Whilst public sector clients in Northern Ireland will be moving to NEC4 this is not expected to happen for approximately 12 months.
