The New Engineering Contract (NEC), or NEC Engineering and Construction Contract, is a formalised system created by the Institution of Civil Engineers that guides the drafting of documents on civil engineering and construction projects for the purpose of obtaining tenders, awarding and administering contracts.〔R Gerard (2005). (Relational contracts—NEC in perspective ). Lean Construction Journal, 2, 80-86.〕〔Brook M. (2004). Estimating and Tendering for Construction Work Butterworth-Heinemann ISBN 978-0-7506-5864-5〕 As such they legally define the responsibilities and duties of Employers (who commission work) and Contractors (who carry out work) in the Works Information. The contract consists of two key parts the Contract Data part one (Data provided by the Employer) and Contract Data part two (Data provided by the Contractor). Several approaches are included making it a family of options. It is used in the UK and internationally in countries including New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and South Africa.〔Patterson R (2007) (Introducing NEC Wellington Seminar )〕 There have been three editions, the first in 1993, the second in 1995, and the most recent in 2005.〔NEC (2005) NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract Thomas Telford Ltd ISBN 978-0-7277-3359-7〕 The June 2005 edition of the NEC3 was amended in June 2006, and again in April 2013. ==Characteristics== The NEC is a family of standard contracts, each of which has these characteristics: * Its use stimulates good management of the relationship between the two parties to the contract and, hence, of the work included in the contract. * It can be used in a wide variety of commercial situations, for a wide variety of types of work and in any location. * It is a clear and simple document - using language and a structure which are straightforward and easily understood. The NEC3 complies fully with the (Achieving Excellence in Construction ) (AEC) principles. The Efficiency & Reform Group of The UK Cabinet Office recommends the use of NEC3 by public sector construction procurers on their construction projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NEC Engineering and Construction Contract」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
