Webinar - An Overview of the NEC4 ECS

This course provides structured Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Recognition of CPD is subject to individual professional body requirements and the learner’s role. This course is not formally accredited unless explicitly stated.

Suitable for CPD requirements of RICS, CIOB, ICE, APM, and PMI members.

The webinar also dives into three key processes critical to effective contract management under NEC4:

• Early Warning Notices – how to proactively identify and manage risks
• Compensation Events – understanding entitlement to time and money
• Termination – what rights and procedures apply when things go wrong

Throughout, you’ll gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of using the ECS, including practical advice on:

• Interpreting the contract’s “plain language” drafting style
• Managing the high administrative demands of NEC processes
• Avoiding common pitfalls that lead to disputes
