CONTENTS
Session 1 – What is the colour of my FIDIC Rainbow?
An introduction to the FIDIC Rainbow (Red/Yellow/Silver Books), the 1999/2017 editions, historical development and principles of these forms, the concept of an “Engineer” driven contract administration structure, condition precedents, Engineer’s determination, Employer’s financial arrangement, unexpected risks, errors in contract documents, and related case laws on interpretation of FIDIC contract provisions.

Key FIDIC contract clauses compared and contrast with PAM/JKR contract provisions on payment, variations, extension of time and delay damages. Contractor’s obligations and liabilities, force majeure, additional non-FIDIC “catch-all” contractor’s liabilities provisions commonly included in international construction contracts.

Session 3 – A FIDIC contract, or a Hybrid Monster?
FIDIC General Conditions, Particular Conditions and Special Provisions of Contract. Typical bespoke amendments to the FIDIC Conditions. Order of priority of contract documents and rules of interpretation. Examples of possible ambiguity in interpretation due to introduction of bespoke contract provisions. Guidance on contract administration of complex contract forms, templates for Clause 20.1 notices and claims, Confirmation of Verbal Instruction, Change Orders and Request for Information.
Session 4 – FIDIC clauses with timelines, where do I begin? ( A Workshop)
A workshop on numerous FIDIC provisions where there are strict timeline compliance requirements, including a claim for payment and/or time, time bar for claims, challenges to instructions, Engineer’s determination on both Contractor’s and Employer’s claims, notice of dissatisfaction, replacement of the Engineer, programme submission and advance warning provisions, and guidance on the standards of submission expected from contractors on claims.
