We bring a unique hands-on and practical approach to the FIDIC, NEC, JBCC and GCC contract and contract management training courses.
The various contracts will be compared initially based on the General Principles of Contract, then based on the ‘Works Contract’ (Locatio Conductio Operis), then based on the PMBok®. Thereafter, the incidental terms of FIDIC will be analyzed and contrasted with NEC, JBCC & GCC. Then NEC3 will be considered and compared with FIDIC, JBCC &
GCC where this has not yet been done. Next JBCC & GCC will be analyzed for issues not yet discussed and contrasted with FIDIC NEC and each other.
