Student NEC research

Dear all,

Another student would like 5 minutes of your time, but please act quickly. In his own words.....

"I am currently studying a degree in Quantity surveying part-time at Northumbria University. As part of my final year I am currently undertaking a research project in the form of a dissertation.  I am looking to examine whether, through its use on projects, it is felt the NEC3 suite of contracts can better help deliver over other traditional forms of contract on defined objectives of; time certainty, cost certainty, quality, partnering and value for money.

I am particularly looking at the contracts use on Public Sector Works within the UK, where secondary data research has highlighted these over-arching objectives should be on the agenda of all project teams working within the public domain.

As highlighted above the research is looking at UK Public Sector works only but respondents are welcome from all users of the NEC3 whom have engaged with or work within the Public Sector in delivering Construction, Engineering, Health and Energy, Oil & Gas projects.

An online survey has been design to collect data, the link to which is included with this correspondence. I would be very grateful if you could share a link to my online survey on the NEC3 User Group forum as it would allow me to expand my data collection from its current limit of the North East of England.

The questionnaire should take approximately 5 minutes comprising of 10 questions involving single choice, multiple choice and matrix questions only. The questionnaire will close for responses at 18:00hrs on Monday the 17th of March, 2014.

In responding to the questionnaire, participants are agreeing that you have been informed of the purposes of this research and that your responses may be used for the purposes of this research only.

All responses will be held anonymously and in confidence.

I very much hope that you will give the time to assist in my research and would like to thank you in advance for sharing your experience in this area.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration on the matter."

Thanks,
Rob
