The aim of this one-day workshop is to equip you with working knowledge of the business processes involved in managing or delivering construction project outcomes using the NEC3 suite of engineering and construction contracts.
This workshop addresses a technical skill on our Leadership Competencies Framework.
The New Engineering Contract (NEC) was developed in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s as a fresh approach to the structuring of contractual relationships. NEC initially focused on engineering construction contracts but more recently has broadened in its third edition (NEC3) to cover a wider range of 16 different contracts including those for term services, professional services and the supply of materials.
NEC3 now offers probably the widest range of options available for setting up these contractual relationships in an integrated manner, potentially achieving efficiencies in project definition, design and procurement. Many of its users claim that it stimulates good management practices throughout their projects.
For use internationally, in New Zealand NEC had been slow to gain acceptance. In recent years, some public utilities and local authorities have trialled the documentation and a New Zealand body of experience on both the client and the contractor side is starting to develop. However, there remain some potentially troublesome areas, such as in mismatches with local legislation, unfamiliarity by many tenderers and greater management inputs that users need to be aware of.
In this workshop, you are made aware of the strengths and potential weaknesses of the use of NEC3 in a New Zealand context. The various primary and secondary options available for construction contracts are reviewed and guidance is given on their selection. Differences in terminology and business processes associated with the procurement and administration of NEC3 contracts are explained.
This workshop qualifies for NZ Trade and Enterprise’s Capability Development Voucher Scheme.
Target Audience
This workshop is for professional engineers and technicians working with client organisations, contractors and consultants, who are procuring or delivering construction contracts for infrastructure, building and other engineering projects, or operations and maintenance contracts for completed facilities.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
■understand reasons why NEC3 contracts were developed and how they fit the New Zealand context
■understand procurement documentation and processes appropriate for the use of NEC3 contracts
■make appropriate choices from the main options and secondary options available under NEC3’s Engineering and Construction Contract and Term Services Contract
■recognise some unexpected features in NEC3 contracts and how to address potential problem areas
■evaluate effects of compensation events.
Content
■Contract strategies
■Payment systems
■The new engineering contract – background and evolution
■NEC3 ECC options
■Procuring a NEC3 contract
■Experiences with NEC ECC contracts
■Key features – cost, time and quality
■Dispute resolution under NEC3
■The NEC3 short contract
■NEC3 term services contract
■NEC3 supply contract
■Conclusions on NEC3 contracts
