writing the book on NEC4
Jon's 'NEC4: A User's Guide' is a significant updating of his NEC3 book taking account of both the changes to the 4th edition and an extra 10+ years of consultancy experience including
- developing Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) arrrangements,
- helping develop contract documents, both amendments to the conditions and working with teams to develop the Scope documents and
- several assignments where he was more involved in the week-to-week operation of contracts he had helped set up.
The practical book, written in an engaging style, introduces the NEC4 family of contracts, and how they fit together. It gives many practical examples to illustrate good (and bad) practice so that, whether you are on the contractor or client side, you gain with a better understanding of how to prepare, tender, administer or contribute to an NEC4 contract for successful project outcomes.
On publication, one reviewer stated "Back in 2012, I thought that Jon Broome's NEC3 Guide was the best NEC book I had seen; now this new NEC4 edition is certainly the best".
In the year after its publication, 2022, it was the top selling book from the whole of ICE Publishing's library.
