of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 2010/11.


In my position as UK Government’s Chief Construction Adviser, I am working
with Government and industry to ensure Britain’s construction sector is
equipped with the knowledge, skills and best practice it needs in its transition
to a low carbon economy. I am promoting innovation in the sector, including in

contracts set out how the interfaces between all the organisations involved
will be managed – from the client through the designers and main contractors
to all the many subcontractors and suppliers.
Versions of the NEC contract are specific to the work of professional service
providers such as project managers and designers, to main contractors, to
subcontractors and to suppliers. The wide range of situations covered by the
contracts means that they do not need to be altered to suit any particular
situation.
