NEC articles
NEC was first published in 1993 as the New Engineering Contract. It is a suite of construction contracts intended to promote partnering and collaboration between the contractor and client. It was developed as a reaction to other more traditional forms of construction contract which have been portrayed by some as adversarial.
The intentions of NEC contracts include:
- Stimulating good management.
- Being clear and simple, written in plain English, in the present tense and without legal terminology.
- Being useable in wide variety of situations from minor works to major projects
The suite of documents now include:
- ECC Engineering and Construction Contracts
- ECSC Engineering and Construction Short Contracts
- ECS Engineering and Construction Subcontract
- ECSS Engineering and Construction Short Subcontract
- FC Framework Contract
- FMC Facilities Management Contract
- TSC Term Services Contract
- TSSC Term Services Short Contract
- PSC Professional Services Contract
- SC Supply Contract
- SSC Supply Short Contract
- AC Adjudicators Contract
