What’s in it for you?

The adoption of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) has recently increased significantly as a preferred method of project planning. The growing volumes of projects selecting this as their preferred procurement model recognise the power of collaborative styles of contracting to achieve outstanding project results.

This two day hands-on training session will focus on the core elements of applying this approach successfully. It can also help you to clear up any confusion about how your team is / or can deliver outstanding results in an ECI project environment. It will give you the building blocks to construct a winning formula for delivery.

Finally, it will provide clear structure around KPIS, collaboration, risk and partner selection and answer your questions around how to get the most from this contract strategy.

  • As an Owner/Client, you will understand how an ECI works, how it compares with other forms of collaborative delivery models, and how it might be used for your own projects
  • As a designer or contractor, you will learn how your role in an ECI compares with other delivery methods, how to handle the selection process, and how best to participate in the RAMP and Delivery phases.
  • Regardless of your position, you will discover how to build a high performance culture that promotes innovation and accountability and delivers exceptional results

Do you want to work collaboratively, irrespective of the form of contract?

This established Masterclass series has been researched by IQPC’s construction team to ensure it parallels changes in the industry landscape.

Trend’s we’ve seen arising over the last 3-6 months are all captured in this two-day training Masterclass to ensure that the training you will receive is 100% relevant.

With a group of peers you will explore:
