NEC3 and NEC4 Compared

NEC3 and NEC4 Compared is a practical reference guide which covers on a clause-by-clause basis, the differences between the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC3) and the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC4). Using clear and simple language, the book will allow the reader to gain a rapid overview of all the updates to the ECC3.
 
The book presents each new clause of ECC4 opposite the old wording of ECC3, with all changes highlighted. Detailed explanatory notes are included which describe the significance of important changes. Users will be able to look up any clause in the ECC3 and see at a glance, what, if anything, has changed. The book covers all updates to the ECC but it will also be useful for those using other contracts in the NEC contract suite, so anybody wishing to understand the new provisions applied across the main contracts in the suite of NEC4 contracts will benefit from this book.
 
Written by an established NEC expert, and a member of the NEC4 drafting team, this companion to the NEC4 contract suite will be a valuable resource for anyone who is familiar with the provisions of ECC3 and is looking for an easy-to-use comparison of the changes between the two editions.
