Note:  The NEC4 family of contract was completely updated in July this year. This independent review highlights the (mainly) good, the bad and ugly changes in the update.

NEC4 Suite Of Contracts reflect procurement and project management developments and emerging standard. This emerging best practice improves flexibility, clarity and the ease of administration in the civil engineering and construction industries, and also the power, water; oil & gas; IT and consultancy sectors.

The NEC family of contracts is now not just used widely in the technical engineering and construction industries and consultancy sectors both in the UK and abroad.

It’s original objectives were  aimed to:

• Be more flexible in terms of what it can be used for and the contract strategies that can be adopted;
• Have greater clarity and simplicity, so that it is easier to understand and use; and
• Stimulate good project management.

NEC4 – the fourth edition – of the family was launched in July and has since been subject to a fair amount of review. This two part webinar identifies and reviews the changes made as well as highlighting changes that have not been made.
