Webinar: What Happens When the Project Manager Goes Quiet?

The ‘NECtar sessions’ theme is what to do when the Project Manager does not respond, and the challenges surrounding this subject within the ⁠NEC Contracts®⁠. The session, hosted by Brad Cahill, our Head of Commercial, explored: 🔸 Why is there no response 🔸 Which NEC clauses need a Project Manager response 🔸 What the Project Manager must respond to and what they don’t have to 🔸 How to encourage the Project Manager to respond quickly 🔸 Perspectives from both the Project Manager and the Contractor, and how they feel Robert Gerrard handled the more technical side of the Project manager's non-response, looking at the NEC contractual requirements and the implications of delayed responses. The webinar then took a slightly different route from our usual ones, as Martin Newman and Richard Myers delivered a debate-style chat looking at the Project Manager’s and Contractor’s outlooks, which made for some interesting points and recommendations.
