NEC4 Programme Workshop

***THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED***

Why you should attend this workshop?

This one-day workshop introduces you to the key aspects of producing and managing a programme during the life of a project. NEC contracts have raised the bar compared to other forms of contract in terms of the importance, quality and level of detail of programming expected and the contractual part it plays in assessing change and delays.

The role of planning should be considered a key aspect in the management of projects. However, it is essential that all team members including the project managers, commercial and anyone involved operationally understand the requirements and effects of managing programme requirements to properly carry out their specific functions. Everyone involved on a project should have an understanding of the current Accepted Programme under the contract and what it means to them on a day to day basis. This
workshop will provide a thorough review of general planning aspects and provide detailed information on how to manage the key programming matters in accordance with the contract. It will also identify specific new clauses that have been introduced with NEC4 that relate to programme, early warnings and compensation events Attendees of this course will have a much clearer understanding of the intent of the specific clauses related to programme and compensation events and in practical terms how they should administer them for the benefit of all parties on a particular project.

You will learn about:

• programme requirements within ECC contract
• the acceptance process and its contractual significance
• different types of float that are required to be demonstrated and who owns them
• early warning process in relation to programme
• compensation events and effect on Completion Date
• programme submissions + reporting

Recommended for: beginner/intermediate

This workshop is recommended for anyone who would come in contact with the contract programme, including in particular project managers, contract managers, quantity surveyors, planners, consultants, within any employer / contractor / subcontractor / consultant organization. Attendees preferably would either have attended an Introduction to the NEC workshop or have practical experience of working on an NEC project to understand the wider basic principles of the contract in order to get the most out of the
session.

***We recommend that all attendees have access to an NEC contract that they can refer to during any of the workshops***
