Updated edition of Managing Reality now published


CATHERINE DE GATACRE ICE PUBLISHING


The NEC suite of contracts has revolutionised the way construction projects are procured and managed – and used correctly they can result in major benefits in time, cost and quality. To help the global community


get the most from NEC, ICE Publishing has brought its bestselling, comprehensive guide to the contracts, Managing Reality, up-to- date.


Five volume set Written jointly by Bronwyn Mitchell


and Barry Trebes, Managing Reality extends principles and procedures from the NEC’s core document – the Engineering and Construction Contract – to all the other contracts and associated documents. Practical


tips, checklists and highlighted examples are included for quick and easy reference. The second edition was published in October 2012 and is available as a set


of five paperback volumes, and also as an ebook, priced at £145. Each volume is also to buy individually. ●
