NEC student research

Another student looking for support with their research who says...

I am a student researching the role of the Project Manager on NEC contracts.

I would be most grateful if you could forward the link to my survey to the NEC Users' Group members.

Thank you.

Student NEC research

Dear all,

Another student survey if you would please. This student  aims to determine the impact of the gain / pain share mechanism specifically, in contributing to value for money in NEC contracting. Depending on whether the user is basing their response on the use of Options A / B, or C / D, a slightly different survey route will become available. He then hopes to be able to compare and contrast, and discover the impact this incentive mechanism (and its absence) has on value for money.

Thank you.

Any good examples of use of X12?

We've had a few enquiries recently on the extent of use of secondary Option X12 Partnering in NEC3 Contracts. Maybe this is a sign of greater collaboration, let's hope so. Anyway, it's always a real problem trying to follow who is doing/using what and therefore are there any users out there who have successfully used X12 and would like to share:
- project details?
- experiences?
- benefits?

Student NEC research

Dear all,

Another survey to complete on your next tea break if you would be so kind.

The title is ......"Does the NEC help the project manager to act as a competent project manager?"

And the student says "The NEC (www.neccontract.com ) is advertised as a project management tool - but does it work? As part of my dissertation for an MSc in Project Management, I would be grateful if you could spend 5 minutes of your time to complete a short survey on the above topic. I hope to share my findings within the NEC and APM communities.

Many thanks
Ignacio Herrero
Graduate Engineer and Project Manager"

Student NEC research

Dear all,

More student research on NEC3 Contracts for you to contribute to. The student is currently studying for an undergraduate honours degree in Quantity Surveying at Glasgow Caledonian University.
 

The topic of his research is “Investigating the Use of, and Effectiveness of the NEC3 Contract and its Secondary/Optional Clauses” and the main purpose of the dissertation is to investigate the relevant selection of certain secondary and optional clauses for inclusion in contracts procured using the NEC3 form of contract and to question whether or not a lack of knowledge of these clauses in the industry actually leads to the inclusion of clauses which have no implications on the project whatsoever?

The student says he seeks to observe the current industry opinion on these clauses and the relevance of their use therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take the time to assist him in his research by completing this questionnaire - your knowledge, experience and opinions on the NEC3 Contract will prove invaluable.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Rob (& the student of course!)

NEC launches free ECC Works Information Guidance

NEC has marked the start of 2012 by publishing a new best-practice guide on preparing the all-important works information for NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contracts (ECC). The purpose of the guide is to help and encourage all NEC users to create better quality works information documents in their ECC contracts. This in turn will improve the outcome and delivery of projects, which is increasingly critical in the current economic climate. The link is below, let us have your feedback in use.
