NEC4 PSC – Beyond the Clauses

NEC4 PSC – Beyond the Clauses

NEC4 PSC training in Australia focused on practical contract implementation, consultancy management, risk management and professional services delivery under NEC4.

About this course

NEC4 contracts are often described as collaborative contracts. In practice, however, collaboration on NEC4 projects is not created by the wording of the contract alone. It is created through the day-to-day management behaviours, systems, controls and decision-making processes used by the project team.

Many NEC4 training courses focus heavily on clause interpretation. While understanding the clauses is important, successful NEC4 delivery depends on something far more practical: how the contract is implemented operationally across the project.

NEC4 PSC – Beyond the Clauses is a practical, implementation-focused training course developed specifically for Australian project environments. The course examines how NEC4 PSC operates as an integrated project management, consultancy management and commercial management system, and how the contract mechanisms interact with design management, programme interfaces, risk management, governance and commercial administration.

Delivered by Steven Evans, the course draws upon more than 25 years of NEC experience, including involvement across many of Australia’s major NEC projects.
