In this seminar we compare the NEC, FIDIC, GCC & JBCC construction contracts.
We look at the key differences between them as well as the different approaches they take to some important issues. We will show you how to identify and implement the right contract for your project.
Some of the topics to be discussed in relation to the NEC/ECC contract are the following:
