Key Discrete Topics from a Contractor’s Perspective under FIDIC
Role, obligations, risk allocations, onerous clauses, measurement and payments, etc., from a Contractor’s perspective
The FIDIC suite of contracts has long been recognised as the international standard form for construction projects. However, for many contractors, the challenge lies not in understanding the general structure, but in identifying and managing the specific contractual clauses that have the greatest impact on project delivery, cost, and risk.
This webinar focuses on a few key discrete topics under FIDIC contracts from a Contractor’s perspective. It provides an in-depth exploration of critical clauses such as risk allocation, onerous conditions, and payment mechanisms. By examining these clauses through real case examples, participants will gain practical insights into how to interpret, negotiate, and manage FIDIC provisions effectively in their day-to-day project work.
The session aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling contractors and project professionals to understand not just what FIDIC says, but what it means in operation, and how to proactively protect their contractual interests.
