Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) in Infrastructure Projects and Contracting Methods
The presentation will start with the concept of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), its benefits, and problems. It will show the different ways in which contracts in general can be used to affect ECI. It will then move on to the details as to how ECI can be put in place in an NEC Engineering and Construction target contract with the NEC’s secondary option X22, which is specifically designed for ECI.
