NEC student survey

Dear all,

Another student survey, is there just enough lunchtime left for you to do this?!

In the author's own words.....

I am a final year student carrying out my dissertation of clause 10.1 within the NEC.

I require results from the contractor, client and legal sides and as I carried out my placement for Costain last year, currently all results I'm getting back are from the contractor's view point.

The link to the questionnaire is below and shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Many thanks

The most important clause in ECC is......

.....what do you think and why?

'TBA' is hereby banned.......

Having recently reviewed probably the worst tender document ever seen I was shocked to find the consistent use of 'TBA' in the very last places I imagined it could be. How can the starting date, access dates and Key Dates (amongst others) all have 'TBA' against them? How can any Contractor price this, or programme, or when might they decided/by whom and what if they are not?

And there I was thinking we had half a chance of being a world class industry....

By the way, 'TBD' was also used (just to break the monotony of 'TBA' I assume) - what does 'TBD' mean, 'To Be Decided'? 'To Be Drunk'? Something else? TBA/TDB are now officially banned, anyone found using them will face the consequences.....

Wanted - your great TSC plans........!

Dear all,

We are developing a new training product and would love to showcase any great examples of NEC3 Term Service Contract (TSC) clause 21 Contractor's plans and X19 Task Order programmes. So if you think you might have one of these that you can share, please let me know....

Student NEC dissertation

Dear all,

Another 5 mins of your time please for this student's research. In his own words....

I am presently completing a MSc in Construction Law and Dispute Resolution and would appreciate if you and any of your colleagues with experience of the ECC C would complete my survey.

 

The questionnaire aims to capture the opinions of construction professional experienced within the use of the ECC Option C form of contract and the research seeks to establish ‘if in administering disallowed costs under ECC Option C, the Project Manager is in danger of breaching the required spirit of mutual trust and co-operation’.

 

The survey will only take 5 minutes to complete and all  responses provided will be combined and analysed collectively to ensure no one contribution is identifiable, therefore ensuring the anonymity of the participant and their organisation

 

Many thanks for your assistance and time.
