Best Publications to read and refer to as a new NEC4 ECC Project Manager

Hello, I hope it’s ok to ask on here about the best publications and books to help me as a newly qualified NEC4 ECC PM. I’d like to invest in the right books to help with my development and give me a greater depth of knowledge for successfully managing an NEC contract

Hi Mark, not being flippant but the best book to read is the contract and together with that, the guidance notes Volumes 2 & 4, other publications tend to repeat what they contain anyway.
Also, keep referring to your notes and the slides from the PMA, other than that I think Barry Trebes produces good books which provide practical advice.

Just to add to Steve’s excellent response, there is no substitute for experience of working on ‘live’ NEC contracts. There are issues that often arise that books simply don’t contain the answer to. Having said that, practical experience and theoretical knowledge are complementary.
