The NEC is being increasingly used throughout the Australasian region - particularly in New Zealand. These pages will guide you to the best place for all of your NEC needs, including local NEC Training, Events, Users' Group information, Consultancy, Case Studies on where the NEC is being used in the region and also where to buy the NEC suite of contracts locally. Click on the links to the left to find out more.
A number of New Zealand clients have recently or are currently undertaking projects using one or more of the NEC suite of contracts. Clients include local authorities, utility companies and private sector companies.
The NEC has been drafted for international use, and thus provides an alternative to existing commonly used forms of construction contract in New Zealand, (more specifically as an alternative to NZS3910).
In particular the NEC is being used to facilitate early contractor involvement and some of the more innovative forms of procurement, including pain / gain share arrangements between the parties using NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract Options C and D. The Term Service Contract (TSC) is also being used in New Zealand for facilities management contracts. We also have Meridian Energy as one of the first users of the NEC3 Supply Contract.
There are only a few minor additional clauses required to the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) to address the requirements of the Construction Contracts Act (2002) (CCA). NEC are currently drafting clauses to address the CCA and other NZ legislation, which will shortly be made available publicly to assist clients and NEC users in New Zealand.
NEC has recently appointed Garry Miller as a local consultant based in New Zealand to provide NEC users with local support. Garry is available to provide NEC consultancy services and training. For further information please contact Garry on +64 (0)21 337 280 or email garry.miller@neccontract.com
