Managing Reality, Third edition: Complete Set
Managing Reality is a series of books written by NEC experts that explain how NEC4 can be used to optimum benefit in everyday environments. Together, the books in this series form the complete and authoritative guide to getting the most from NEC4 for your projects.
Each title is based on usage of the NEC's core document the Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) although the principles and procedures they discuss apply equally across all the documents in the NEC suite. Fully updated to reflect the NEC4 contract, the books in this series provide a rounded view of the ECC, whatever your discipline, and from both sides of the contractual relationship.
Managing Reality, Third edition places great emphasis on offering ‘practical tips’ at appropriate points in the text and highlighted examples. Standard forms are included with their usage explained together with checklists. The books are practical manuals designed to aid both existing and new users in implementing the NEC, and will be an essential guide for anyone involved in preparing, administering or contributing to an NEC contract.
