NEC Peru
Digital Beehive and NEC Peru have formed a strategic partnership as the country increasingly integrates the NEC contract into its infrastructure projects. NEC’s introduction to Peru began in 2017 with sporting infrastructure for the Pan American Games, setting high standards, and has since expanded to major government projects, including Digital Beehive’s support for regional hospitals.
Adoption is expected to accelerate further with the NEC Contract now available in Spanish following a recent government agreement. Despite challenges from Peru’s limited history with recognised construction contracts, early access to digital tools and best practices creates new opportunities. This partnership demonstrates how technology can enhance project delivery and supports the country’s growth. It also lays the groundwork for other Latin American nations to adopt NEC effectively and strengthen regional construction standards.
