Last week, Robert Gerrard (Senior NEC Consultant) jointly lectured with Dr. Arthur McInnis on NEC at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Robert presented to civil and environmental engineering students on NEC and collaborative contracting, covering topics on what is NEC4, where it is used, why it is different, and how it supports the collaboration agenda. He highlighted the contract’s flexibility, including: • Multi-disciplinary application • Responsibility for design by either party • Choice of pricing mechanisms from lump sum to cost plus • The use of secondary Options to allocate risk effectively • International adoption across various projects Discover more about how NEC can support universities and academic institutions, helping students prepare for careers in the construction and wider built environment: https://www.neccontract.com/support/nec-for-academia
