Synopsis:
The New Engineering Contract (NEC) was published in 1995 following the issue by The Institution of Civil Engineers in 1991 of consultation documents and a first edition in 1993. Its content represents a radical new approach to forms of contract and it was recommended by Sir Michael Latham in his report on the construction industry to become the standard form for construction contracts. As a result a second edition was published in 1995 re-titled The Engineering and Construction Contract (NEC). The course will describe the procedures in applying the contract strategy and preparing contract documents.
