NEC4 ECC – Beyond the Clauses

NEC4 ECC training for project teams.

Course overview

NEC4 ECC – Beyond the Clauses is for teams managing projects under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. It focuses on successful project delivery and what your team has to do, rather than working through the clauses one by one.

NEC4 can be misunderstood and has a reputation for being complex and creating too much administration. This course will dispel those myths and look at what the contract actually requires and where unnecessary administration can be avoided.

The course uses realistic project scenarios and operational examples. Participants discuss the decisions they would need to make and the information needed to make them.
