NEC3/NEC4 Overview & Introduction to the ECC
The CIF is delighted to be offering training on NEC Forms of Contract, provided by GMH Planning. GMH Planning are recognised industry experts in understanding and administering NEC forms of contract and NEC training, working with clients, contractors, subcontractors, consultants and suppliers across the construction industry.
NEC Forms of Contract are currently being used on some semi-state contracts in Ireland, with more adopting their use all the time as they provide better collaboration, incentivise people to work together to solve problems, and create the space for all parties to focus on constructing the asset. The NEC Forms are designed to balance risk effectively, and can be adapted to suit any project. These forms of contract are widely used internationally and are becoming more common in Ireland, and the CIF has therefore sought to provide its members with training so that they can familiarise themselves with the forms.
“NEC3/NEC4 Overview & Introduction to the ECC” will take place online on Tuesday 21st February, introducing attendees to the common philosophies of the NEC family of contracts and focusing in more detail upon the key mechanics and provisions of the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC).

What is the definition of Contractor?
For those who work in the field of health and safety, especially health and safety in the workplace, staying up to date with developments within construction safety is a vital part of delivering an effective service, both to employers and the workforce. Health and safety legislation often changes as we learn from real life incidents in the workplace and making sure your knowledge is current is an essential part of remaining compliant always. This is the reason that health and safety professionals, especially within the construction industry, are required to regularly update their training with Safety Management Renewal courses for CPD purposes.
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations, 2013 interprets ‘client’ as a person for whom a project is carried out, in the course or furtherance of a trade, business or undertaking, or who undertakes a project directly in the course or furtherance of such trade, business or undertaking and since 2013 construction work done on your own domestic dwelling e.g. an extension on to your kitchen, or you are building your own house.
