We are here to support the industry to successfully implement their NEC contracts through training, tender preparation and contract advisory services for clients, consultants, contractors and quantity surveyors. Our professionals have been providing NEC advisory services in Hong Kong since 2009 and have monitored the evolvement of the practices in NEC contract administration. Our in-depth knowledge of the contract and well-connected network from government officials to subcontractors make us a resourceful support to enable win-win outcome in your project. Of particular importance is the creation of a collaborative environment to meet the requirement that the parties “shall act as stated in this contract and in a spirit of mutual trust and cooperation”, which is mandated in all NEC options. JCP’s unsurpassed experience of forging collaborative relationships and cultures uniquely qualifies us to ensure that your NEC contracts actual work as intended and deliver exceptional outcomes!!

• The NEC Training ‍
  Although the contract adopts plain English, there are a lot of skills in managing the NEC contracts, especially the Option C target contract, that are not apparent but are critical to the contract successes. Various clients also have their own additional conditions of contract, or Z-Clauses, and unique contract settings to allocate risks between the Parties. We have worked on NEC contracts adopted by the Government, MTR, CLP, WestK, etc and are conversant with the latest forms so that we can give any practitioners a quick understanding of the commercial risks and ways to manage programme, early warning and compensation events to a win-win outcome.
  

• The Collaborative Journey (Partnering)
  Implementing NEC and collaboration are symbiotic, particularly in a target cost contract, where the cost saving will primarily come from a step change in working collaboratively delivering innovation and enhanced productivity. JCP will support the integrated project team along the collaborative journey, with the tools and techniques of workshops, reviews, leadership and team development monitoring described elsewhere on this website. It is important to note that Development Bureau’s NEC practice notes (click) suggest the need for embracing this philosophy with Partnering Workshops and Champion Group Meetings
