Effective Implementation of NEC in Hong Kong and Practical Issues (HKIE CPD 1248/2019)

The Government of HKSAR has adopted the New Engineering Contract (NEC) for more than 80 public works and civil engineering projects since 2009 and will continue to use NEC in future.  Although projects benefit from the use of NEC, there are challenges and concerns in its implementation in Hong Kong, particularly in target cost contracts. The seminar will address these challenges and practical issues for effective implementation of the NEC in Hong Kong with due consideration of the Practice Notes promulgated by Development Bureau and the amended NEC core clauses.
