In this presentation, the founder of Sima (now part of the Think Project Group) – a long‑time NEC Contracts tutor and contributor to NEC4 – argues that successful NEC4 contracting hinges on three pillars: a healthy culture, deep site knowledge, and disciplined record‑keeping. He stresses that modern contracts demand transparency and accountability, and that robust, well‑maintained site records act as the "oxygen" for NEC4 processes, simplifying decision‑making and reducing errors. By using the right digital tools, practitioners can capture data efficiently, turning today’s records into actionable insights for future projects. The speaker highlights that investing in strong records makes the broader NEC framework easier to manage, ultimately leading to healthier projects.
