New engineering contract

The New Engineering Contract family of Standard Form Contracts is used by major organisations across the length and breadth of South Africa. And this modern family of contracts is fast becoming a standard for private companies, parastatals and public sector organisations alike.

We all know that the NEC is an accepted standard form of contract for construction projects. And let's be honest, there are many companies that claim to use the NEC in its purest format, however in reality many companies have amended the NEC contract to such an extent that it no longer resembles the NEC standard form of contract at all and using it leads to greater confusion... does any of this sound familiar?

Often, many of the amendments are vague, badly drafted, ambiguous...take your pick of adjectives...the issue is then that the interpretation of these amended clauses often raises more questions and this then leads to misunderstandings, disputes and of course claims!

So, this two day New Engineering Contract training course is highly recommended for anyone involved in working with the NEC Black Book as the aim of this training course is to equip all course participants with a detailed understanding and practical working knowledge of the mechanics and day-to-day functions of the NEC Black Book.

In addition the training course will also cover in detail the very necessary practical commercial skills that you need, as well as the general principles of the law of contract. And in order to lay the foundation for the entire course we will take a detailed look at a historical perspective of the NEC and will consider the history and the events that stimulated its development.

We have based the training course on a mix of research, actual experience as well as some of the trials and tribulations we have seen first-hand when dealing with the NEC Black Book. But all of the case studies and examples used during the two days are based on real-life construction situations.

This training course pulls together all of this and much more in terms of best practices as it answers a wide range of on-going questions often asked by NEC users...so when you think about it you really can't afford to miss this training course!

Plus! Every course participant gets a free copy of the new April 2013 edition NEC Black Book material valued at over R750 absolutely free!
