This session will review a number of key NEC cases and is vital listening for anyone involved in NEC contracts. Issues covered will include:
- Evaluation issues such as payment of gains under Option C, status of forecast costs v actual, can a PM’s evaluation be revisited and omissions of work;
- Adjudication and the “dissatisfaction” procedure;
- The spirit of mutual trust and co-operation; and
Practical advice will be given throughout the session to ensure that CECA members avoid these pitfalls.
