NEC Form of Contract

The majority of our Clients work with the NEC. Due to our intense focus on the Water and Environment sectors we have great depth and experience of the NEC.

Those that use the NEC are fully aware of its benefits and perhaps even more so some of the pitfalls. “Administrative burden” and “complicated processes” are criticisms that we often hear of the NEC.

However, Aqua always look for the root cause of our Client’s issues. Regarding NEC Contract Management, these have included:

  • Mismatch between the skillset of the resource employed compared to that required by the role
  • A lack of practical, hands on training for those new to the NEC
  • The creating of administrative burden by not adhering to, or not fully understanding the Contract
  • The use of basic NEC templates that lead to repetitive entry and maximise opportunity for human-error.
