About the Course

It has been over a decade since FIDIC introduced its first edition construction and engineering contract. The contracts have been used on a multitude of projects across the globe and have gained recognition as the pre-eminent construction and engineering contract. New contracts have been added to the suite and updates developed. In this two day workshop we take a practical, hands on look at the FIDIC contracts. We focus on claims, the roles and responsibilities of the parties and of the engineer, and other matters which have practical implications for users of the contracts. Some matters to be covered in this workshop include: Claims: when to bring them, how to bring them, how to defend them; Notices: when to serve them, how to serve them, what to do when you receive one; Evaluating extension of time claims: the role of the programme; Risk allocation: how the different contracts allocate risk; Roles of the parties and of the Engineer; and Disputes: how to avoid them and what to do when they arise Once you have completed this workshop you should have greater practical understanding of: Clauses which raise difficulties in practice; Clauses where the drafting could create uncertainty; Clauses which require particular attention if disputes are to be avoided. Hands on, interactive presentation This workshop is designed around case studies and practical examples. Delegates are encouraged to discuss matters, raise questions with the presenter and work out practical solutions to practical problems. Through a combination of lectures, discussion and hands on problem solving, this workshop will provide a thorough, comprehensive understanding of the FIDIC documents at work. Delegates will be provided with a comprehensive set of notes that includes case studies, slides and course notes. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own copies of the FIDIC contracts.

Course Program: This program is a guide and may be altered to better address participant requirements on a consensual basis. Lunch, midmorning, and mid-afternoon refreshments will be served each day.

The workshop will follow the same structure as the FIDIC documentation, being loosely based around the 20 clauses that run across the FIDIC contracts. It will therefore be useful irrespective of which FIDIC contract you happen to be working with and will provide a comprehensive overview of the entire contract. Each session will include some lecturing, some discussion and case study.
Session 1: Procurement options, choosing the right FIDIC contract for the job
In this session we discuss procurement options and provide an overview of all the contracts in the FIDIC family. We then go on to consider the general provisions in the first clause. Some matters covered in this session include: Which FIDIC contract for which project procurement options; An overview of all the contracts in the FIDIC family; Risk allocation under the FIDIC contracts; Clause 1: definitions that you need to know. How notices are served and communications made; dealing with delayed drawings or instructions. design liability under the different contracts; ownership of plant and materials; and testing Dealing with changes in costs; Value engineering; Interim payment certificates; Delayed payment; Retention money; and Final payment

Session 4: Time
Anyone who has worked on a construction or engineering project will know that most claims and disputes have timing problems at their heart. In this session we focus on some of these problems. Some matters covered in this session include: When does time start running against the contractor; The programme; Early warning; Dealing with extension of time claims; Dealing with concurrent delays; and Ownership of the float

Session 7: Acts of God, Suspension and Cancellation

Where one party breaches the contract, or where the contract becomes impossible to perform, there are a number of routes open to the innocent party. Some matters covered in this session include: Unilateral termination by the Employer; Cancellation by the Employer where the Contractor is in breach; Cancellation by the Contractor where the Employer is in breach; Suspension of work; and Dealing with Acts of God

Session 2: Role players: The Employer, the Contractor and the Engineer
In this session we focus on clauses 2, 3 and 4 of the FIDIC contracts. Matters covered here include: The role of the Employer; The Employers financial arrangements; Employers claims; Who can act as the Engineer; The role of the Engineer; Impartiality of the Engineer; The contractors representative; and Performance security.

Session 5: Taking over and defects

The FIDIC contracts are divided into a number of stages of completion, with rights and obligations attaching to each. In this session we focus on the stages of completion and, in particular, on taking over. Some matters discussed in this session include: Taking over before certificates are issued; Early Taking over; Extension of the defects notification period; Failure to remedy defects; and Tests on completion

Session 8: Making Claims and Dealing with Disputes

Throughout the workshop we will have considered the different claims clauses in the contract. Here we focus on the procedures to be followed when making claims, and on dispute resolution. Some matters discussed here include: Time bars; Employers claims; Serving notices; The Engineers obligation to respond to a claim; The Engineers role in resolving disputes; and Adjudication

Session 3: Subcontracting, Design Liability, Unforeseeable Physical Conditions, Plant & Materials
This session starts to hone in on some of the areas which commonly lead to claims on construction sites. Some of the matters covered here include: the FIDIC approach to subcontractors; the new subcontract document; unforeseeable physical conditions and difficulties;

Session 6: Measurement, Variations and Payment

Like most construction and engineering contracts FIDIC recognizes that the ability to vary the works is key to a successful project and that the financial and time related consequences of any variation must be properly managed. Some matters discussed in this session include: How variations are issued; How variations are valued; Dealing with omissions;
