The online NEC4 ECC overview training session runs remotely via MS Teams from 9am – 4.15pm. There are limited places to allow a good level of interactivity for all attendees. Sessions focus on the new NEC4 versions of the contract but also cover differences from NEC3 to NEC4 so still relevant for any one still engaged under NEC3 versions of the contract.
NEC4 is a welcome enhancement to what was already a very practical set of contracts, but like anything it needed to evolve to move with the times and address issues reported from the industry that were still common place.
This online NEC4 ECC overview training workshop will explore the significant changes that on a practical basis are the ones for regular users of the contract to understand. There are a number of key changes some of which are contract wide, and some of which are specific to individual contracts. The changes include in our NEC4 overview training course cover amendments to standard wording, additional clauses, additional secondary options and changes to guidance. The workshop will consider why it was felt they were needed and how they should be practically understood. For many organizations or projects already working to NEC3 on long term projects the migration across to NEC4 will take several months or even year(s). This workshop will therefore also consider/remind key virtues that people should understand with NEC contracts and consider common issues that are still happening on projects and how they can be avoided – with or without the new wording within NEC4.
Attendees of the online NEC4 EEC overview training workshop will have a much clearer understanding of the intent of the specific contractual clauses of the new NEC4 contracts and in practical terms begin to see how they should understood/administered for the benefit of all parties on a particular project.
You will learn about:
- The new contracts added to the NEC4 ECC suite of contracts.
- Subtle principle changes across the NEC4 suite of contracts.
- New secondary options in NEC4
- Main changes in particular to the NEC4 ECC contract, why they were deemed necessary and how they can/will work in practice.
- Common issues still occurring on projects working to NEC3 and how they could be overcome/avoided.
