NEC4 ECC – The Project Manager

NEC4 ECC training for Project Managers and those supporting the role.

Course overview

NEC4 ECC – The Project Manager is part of Concordia’s Beyond the Clauses training series. It is for Project Managers and those supporting the role under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. It focuses on successful project delivery and what the Project Manager has to do, rather than working through the clauses one by one.

The course takes the core topics from NEC4 ECC – Beyond the Clauses and considers them from the Project Manager’s perspective: contract construction, communications, early warning, the Accepted Programme, compensation events and payment. The emphasis is on the decisions the Project Manager needs to make, when to make them and the information needed to do so.

Participants work through project scenarios from the Project Manager’s perspective. They discuss what action to take, when to take it and how to explain their decisions.
