Breakfast Briefing Nec3 Contracts

Breakfast Briefing

Introduction

The New Engineering Contract (NEC3) is now the contract of choice for UK public bodies.  Endorsed by the Office of Government Commerce, it has been adopted on a wide variety of building and engineering projects by both the public sector and, increasingly, private clients.  As its use becomes more widespread, an understanding of how the contract works is critical if new users are to maximise the benefits of NEC3's style and approach.
