NEC4: Managing the ECC Lifecycle is a practical, end to end guide to the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, written for professionals responsible for managing NEC4 contracts. Taking the reader through the full contract lifecycle, from procurement strategy and contract set up, through day to day administration, to close out and final assessment, the book is structured around how the contract is used in practice.
Across fifteen chapters, it covers early warnings, programme management, compensation events, payment and Defined Cost, Option C target contracts, and dispute resolution, supported by worked examples from real programmes, clear explanations of common mistakes and how to avoid them, and focused analysis of the case law that shapes NEC4 administration. The coverage also extends to subcontract management under the NEC4 ECS, a structured comparison with FIDIC, and practical considerations involved in using NEC4 outside the UK.
NEC4: Managing the ECC Lifecycle is written for project managers, commercial managers, quantity surveyors, contract administrators, and contractors’ commercial teams working with NEC4 at mid career to senior level.
