Using innovative KPIs with NEC3 Contracts

I was speaking with someone recently from a local authority in South Wales who advised of their use of really interesting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) whilst using NEC3 ECC secondary Option X20. This was in respect of contractors demonstrating a positive local social impact during construction by employing people currently on job seekers allowance. The number depended on size of project.

So, does anyone have any great examples of X20 (or X12) KPIs that they consider to be innovative? Maybe there's a good article in here in due course...

NBS survey - send in your NEC Contracts....


NBS National Construction Contracts & Law Survey 2013

As with last year’s survey, RIBA Enterprises are looking for users interested in completing the 2013 survey - see below for a link. 

The closing date of the survey is the 31st July 2013 and there will be a prize draw with one respondent winning an Apple iPad.

The aim of the survey is to gain a better understanding as to which construction contracts are being used and what are the contractual and dispute resolution issues that construction professionals face. The survey is the most wide-ranging independent review of contractual and legal issues throughout the industry, and will provide an accurate and in-depth picture of legal issues and disputes at each phase of construction, covering subjects such as:

·         tendering and procurement
·         pricing
·         the reference and adoption of BIM in contracts
·         collaborative working; and the
·         main issues of dispute, their duration and value
 
The 2012 survey revealed that disputes were still prevalent, despite the Government’s emphasis on collaboration, with almost a quarter of those who took part saying they had been involved in a disputes in 2011.
