Synopsis

"NEC Managing Reality" is a series of manuals written by NEC experts well versed in using the NEC "at the coalface", that aims to explain how the NEC can be used to optimum benefit in everyday environments. The manuals are based on the usage of the NEC's core document - the Engineering and Construction Contract - although the principles and procedures they discuss apply equally across all documents in the NEC suite. They cover both use of the NEC in its "NEC2" version, on which virtually all existing NEC contracts have been based, and the newly published (July 2005) "NEC3", which is expected to be the version of NEC used on future projects."NEC Managing Reality" places great emphasis on offering "practical tips" at appropriate points and providing examples to highlight points. Standard forms are included with their usage explained together with checklists. They are practical manuals designed to aid both existing and new users in implementing and using the NEC. The manual is aimed at those who are considering using the NEC but need further information, or those who are already using the NEC but need further insight into its rationale. It therefore focuses on the fundamental cultural changes and mind-shift that is required to successfully manage the practicalities of the NEC in use. It covers: background to the NEC; what is the NEC; why is the NEC is different; conventions; concepts; terminology; terminology not used in the NEC; other aspects of the NEC; roles; description of the roles; and list of duties.
