It presents complicated concepts in a simple, straightforward and understandable way, focusing mainly on day-to-day use. Steven Evans, an expert with thirty years of experience in construction, considers all the provisions of the contract and explains the procedures, obligations, and liabilities contained within it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNEC3 ECC is a process-based contract based on project management best practices. The basic philosophy behind it differs radically from the more adversarial approaches embodied by traditional contracts. While the NEC3 ECC may appear quite simple on the surface, it is often misunderstood and mismanaged by its day-to-day users. Despite the clear and urgent need for expert guides for those who use the NEC3 ECC, or who are considering adopting this increasingly popular contract, available books on the subject are highly technical and written for lawyers and professional consultants—until now. Written specifically for contractors using the NEC3 ECC contract, this book is aimed specifically at a level consistent with the knowledge and experiences of contractors and their

Evans\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of construction consultancies in the UK and in Australia. He has worked in construction for nearly 30 years, beginning as an on-site trainee quantity surveyor for a top tier multinational contractor, moving on to managing surveyor for a medium sized UK based contractor, and finally, as a dispute resolution and avoidance specialist.  Mr. Evans has a wealth of practical experience to supplement his legal knowledge and qualifications.      \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAddresses the daily challenges faced by contractors who use the NEC3 ECC with clear,  practical and useable advice on how to solve them\u003c\/b\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Written in plain English for contractors and their staff, this book explains how the NEC3 contract works and provides answers to common questions. It presents complicated concepts in a simple, straightforward and understandable way, focusing mainly on day-to-day use. Steven Evans, an expert with thirty years of experience in construction, considers all the provisions of the contract and explains the procedures, obligations, and liabilities contained within it.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e NEC3 ECC is a process-based contract based on project management best practices. The basic philosophy behind it differs radically from the more adversarial approaches embodied by traditional contracts. While the NEC3 ECC may appear quite simple on the surface, it is often misunderstood and mismanaged by its day-to-day users. Despite the clear and urgent  need for expert guides for those who use the NEC3 ECC, or who are considering adopting this increasingly popular contract, available books on the subject are highly technical and written for lawyers and professional consultants—until now. Written specifically for contractors using the NEC3 ECC contract, this book is aimed specifically at a level consistent with  the knowledge and experiences of contractors and their staff.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA practical guide to the procedures in the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contracts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten specifically for those using and administering the contracts—not for lawyers or professional consultants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders all the provisions of the contract and explains the procedures, obligations and liabilities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers all NEC3 ECC versions and variations created by the Main and Secondary Options\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides clear, concise, practical, and straightforward explanations of the NEC3 ECC form used by commercial and operational staff of main contractors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Contractor's NEC3 ECC Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital working resource for main contractors and their employees, including quantity surveyors, commercial managers, contracts managers, project managers, site managers, and estimators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990198862053,"sku":"NP9781119137498","price":103.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119137498.jpg?v=1761786873","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-contractors-nec3-ecc-handbook-isbn-9781119137498","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
