A five-volume set of manuals on how to use the ECC
Bronwyn Mitchell and Barry Trebes
NEC3 MANAGING REALITY

the NEC has become a truly ground-
breaking concept which has
revolutionised the way construction
contracts are procured and managed,
resulting in major benefits in time, cost
and quality.
Complete set of five manuals

NEC, 40 Marsh Wall, London, E14 9TP
In order to take full advantage of the NEC’s benefits it is necessary
to introduce a culture of partnering and changes in working procedures
and practices.
NEC Managing Reality is a series of manuals written by NEC experts
well-versed in using the NEC “at the coal-face”, that aims to explain
how the NEC can be used to optimum benefit in everyday environments.
The manuals are based on the usage of the NEC’s core document –
the Engineering and Construction Contract although the principles
and procedures they discuss apply equally across all documents in the
NEC suite. They cover both the current version of NEC, NEC3 as well
as its predecessor, NEC2.
NEC Managing Reality places great emphasis on offering “practical
tips” at appropriate points and providing examples to highlight points.
Standard forms are included with their usage explained together
with checklists.
They are practical manuals designed to aid both existing and new users
in implementing and using the NEC.
