Watch: how to protect your profits on your next NEC project.
You've won the NEC project. Now make sure you don't lose your profits.
The contract gives you rights when things change, but it needs to be managed. From day one, you need to know what to notify, when to notify it and what records to keep. Get the NEC process right from the start and you can protect your margin, improve cash flow and avoid problems later.
The cost of getting it wrong
What you don't notify, record and manage today can become a commercial problem tomorrow

You're about to start work. Don't leave your money behind.
01
If you start work without fully understanding what the NEC contract requires, the first change, might catch you out.
02
Problems get discussed on site, but if you don't issue the right notices, you'll be exposed when you need to prove what happened.
03
Your programme isn't kept up to date, this makes it harder to prove delay, assess compensation events and protect your profits.
04
Your client offers less than you're entitled to, and you accept it because you don't want to damage the relationship.
None of this is your fault. Nobody taught you how to manage the contract.
Who's behind this
I've recovered more than £1Billion for contractors on NEC projects.
I started my career on site, alone, on an NEC project, I had a QS degree, but it didn't help me, and I had no-one to ask when things went wrong. I left and went on to lead commercial teams on £100M projects for Balfour Beatty, and change management teams on £1billion projects for Costain. The systems I built reversed over £300M of losses on a single project. I've distilled that same practice down to the basics, so smaller firms get the commercial edge the biggest contractors already have.
The 90-day plan to protect your profits and get paid.
This isn't a one-off workshop where someone reads through a contract while you take notes on a busy day. It's self-paced, you can work through the contract administration modules when you start on site and the dispute resolution modules when issues start to build. Bring your actual live issues to me so we can work through them together.
Keep your NEC contract organised. Miss nothing.
