Course overview
NEC4 ECC – Programme Management is for planners and project controls teams preparing, reviewing and updating programmes under the Engineering and Construction Contract. It concentrates on the programme information needed to manage the remaining work and assess change.
Participants examine logic, float and time risk allowances, and distinguish planned Completion from the contractual Completion Date. They work through what programme acceptance establishes, what it does not establish and how the programme should reflect actual progress and outstanding delay.
Programme examples are used to prepare a submission, identify reasons for non-acceptance and examine a compensation event’s time effects. The assessment needs to isolate the event from other delay while the current programme continues to show the whole delivery position.
