This isn't just a legal preference; it's a statement about how we believe projects should be managed and how we want to work with our clients and partners.
Why NEC4 is Our Preferred Approach
The NEC4 suite of contracts is globally recognised for fostering a non-adversarial, transparent, and proactive working environment. For us, using NEC4 is our way of guaranteeing a better experience and outcome for everyone involved.
Here are the key benefits you can expect when working with us under the NEC4 framework:
*
Mutual Trust and Cooperation: The core philosophy of NEC4 is a requirement for all parties to act "in a spirit of mutual trust and co-operation." We believe this foundational clause is the key to successful, dispute-free projects.*
Proactive Risk Management (Early Warnings): NEC4’s built-in Early Warning mechanism ensures that potential issues—related to time, cost, or quality—are identified and collaboratively addressed before they become major problems. No more surprises or last-minute crises.*
Clarity and Certainty: The contracts use clear, simple language, and establish precise processes for managing change (Compensation Events) and assessing costs. This transparency means everyone understands their roles, responsibilities, and the financial status of the project at all times.*
Enhanced Project Outcomes: By focusing on collaboration and proactive problem-solving, NEC4 consistently leads to projects being completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.What This Means for Our Clients and Partners
By making NEC4 our standard operating procedure, we are confirming our dedication to:
* Transparency: Open communication and a clear view of project progress.
* Fairness: A balanced distribution of risks and rewards.
* Efficiency: Streamlined processes that reduce delays and administrative friction.
We look forward to demonstrating the value of this collaborative framework in our next partnership. We truly believe that this approach is the preferred and best way to deliver outstanding service and project success.
