Representing Digital Beehive on this knowledge-gathering trip are Nick Ives, Managing Director; Will Tann, Product Lead and APAC Manager; and Brad Cahill, Business Development Manager. The team is engaging with industry leaders, partners, and practitioners to better understand the challenges, workflows, and priorities of organisations managing NEC contracts in complex infrastructure projects.
“Our time in Hong Kong is about more than attending events – it’s about understanding how NEC contract management is delivered on the ground in some of the region’s most complex infrastructure projects,”
Says Nick Ives, Managing Director of Digital Beehive.
“By learning directly from industry leaders, we can refine Contract Bee to better support project teams, reduce risk, and drive efficiency not just in the UK, but now across APAC. This is how we future-proof our software: by partnering with the best and translating those insights into practical tools that truly change the way projects are delivered.”
Headline Sponsor at the NEC Conference
As headline sponsor at this year’s NEC Conference in Hong Kong, Digital Beehive is participating in discussions with local and international NEC practitioners. This platform allows the team to gather insights into industry trends, contract management challenges, and opportunities where digital tools can add value to NEC-driven projects.
CPD Webinar: Prevention of Disputes Through Digitalisation
Digital Beehive is also being hosted by The Contracts Group for a CPD webinar in collaboration with the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Adjudicators (HKICAdj).
The webinar, “Prevention of Disputes by Digitalisation in NEC Contract”, is taking place on Monday, 1 December 2025, via Zoom.
Nick, Will, and Brad are sharing high-level perspectives while listening to participants’ experiences. This session provides an opportunity to understand how digitalisation can support NEC contract administration and dispute prevention in real-world projects, and how Contract Bee can be further adapted to meet those needs.
Construction Industry Breakfast Briefing & Roundtable
On Wednesday, 3 December 2025, Digital Beehive will lead a roundtable discussion during The Contracts Group’s Construction Industry Breakfast Briefing.
The discussion, focused on digital solutions for NEC contract and project management, allows the team to capture insights from contractors, consultants, and client organisations working on infrastructure projects. These learnings will guide the evolution of Contract Bee to better support NEC project delivery in APAC.
Learning to Shape the Future of NEC Contract Management in Hong Kong
This series of engagements is a critical fact-finding and learning exercise for Digital Beehive as we continue to refine Contract Bee to address the needs of NEC contract management in complex infrastructure projects. The insights gathered in Hong Kong will inform product development, knowledge-sharing initiatives, and future partnerships across the region.
Following this visit, Digital Beehive will share a thought-leadership piece highlighting key learning, insights, and opportunities to further support organisations adopting NEC contracts through digital solutions.
Digital Beehive looks forward to deepening its understanding of the APAC market, connecting with practitioners, and continuing to advance the digital transformation of NEC contract management in Hong Kong.
