HKA G&S: joint society NEC PSC Hong Kong Edition briefing session

Overview

The primary purpose of this seminar is to provide a comprehensive and rigorous examination of the NEC Professional Service Contract (PSC), exploring how it facilitates the appointment of professional consultants and specialised service providers such as architects, quantity surveyors, structural and building services engineers, project managers, and lead designers. The sessions actively embed the core principles of mutual trust, cooperation, collaboration, absolute clarity, and proactive risk management across every stage of a project lifecycle. By establishing clear management procedures and well-defined lines of communication, the contract ensures that both the Employer and the Consultant work together constructively to mitigate delays, control budgets, and resolve compensation events efficiently rather than adversarially.

This seminar delivers a thorough comparison between the standard international NEC4 PSC and the newly adapted NEC PSC Hong Kong Edition. Participants will examine how targeted local amendments and secondary options adapt the standard text to align seamlessly with Hong Kong’s unique statutory framework, legal precedents, and local construction industry practices. Through detailed analysis and practical commentary, attendees will gain a thorough understanding of the key contractual nuances, risk allocation strategies, and operational implications when navigating professional service appointments under both versions.
