Masterclass for Consultants and Clients in the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contracts (Standard and Short)

Most publicly funded construction projects in Northern Ireland require the building contractor to be appointed under the NEC3 Construction Contract (ECC) or its Short equivalent (ECSC).

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.

Objectives
– understand the principal differences when preparing a contract
– know how to assess the financial aspects of a tender
– know the key procedures of the contract
– become familiar and comfortable with using it
– know its key implementation points
