CÔTE D’IVOIRE
ECS has deployed highly experienced technical and project management resources to Abidjan. We’ll be assisting a leading British infrastructure client involved in delivering state of the art hospitals and medical centres for local communities in this beautiful West African city.
THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
Over the past two years we have provided project management oversight and contract management services to several leading metal and mining clients in the DRC.
IRAQ
ECS was selected by KBR Inc, a tier one multinational engineering company, to provide experienced and professional teams for a 3-year oil and gas maintenance project in Southern Iraq. The scope includes project management, discipline leads, and a range of construction support services for this multimillion-dollar maintenance project.
DUBAI
Our forensic planning manager, Mahdi Goodarzi is based in Dubai and frequently travels to South Africa to provide support to local customers. We are in the early stages of promoting the NEC suite of contracts to the UAE and neighbouring countries that have traditionally used another form of contract.
SPOTLIGHT ON PERU
Our partner, Gleeds International has a reputation for delivering award-winning projects around the world. Every reason ECS is proud to have been awarded a 1-year extension to continue supporting the global property and construction consulting company on this multi-billion pound infrastructure programme funded by the British Government. Our focus is primarily on NEC contract management services for the development of schools, hospitals, and anti-flood infrastructure.
Collaborative working
ECS was chosen to participate because of our expert NEC contract management experience. In 2020, the Peruvian government set up its ‘reconstruction with changes’ programme and a key objective is to use NEC contracts to achieve efficient procurement and collaborative working.
NEC prominence in Peru
- The NEC early warning mechanism has helped minimise disruption of works in Lima.
- The compensation event approach has enabled proactive cost management vs. the practice of last-minute contract changes. This improvement is driven by collaborative change management.
- The benefit of NEC fairness has inspired confidence in the market and improved the number of tenderers for each project from an average of two to 22.
- The NEC dispute avoidance board has helped in swifter voluntary resolution of issues.

By utilising NEC project management implementation principles, ECS improves the procurement and delivery process, rather than just facilitating it. As a South African business, ECS has delivered over 1000 training workshops and seminars on the practical aspects of implementing the NEC contract. With the iconic Andrew Baird as our Founder we have been trained by the best. Andrew was a key member of the drafting committee for the NEC Suite of documents in the UK and has been instrumental in delivering this procurement option to our local market.
With ECS projects we have the capability to use the best theoretical implementation techniques and blend them with proven practical experience to ensure optimum project delivery is achieved for our customers.
