When all parties involved in the construction process fully
understand their roles and are able to anticipate potential points
of conflict, disputes and delays will be minimised.
The Employer’s and Engineer’s Guide to the FIDIC
Conditions of Contract sets out the essential administrative
requirements of a FIDIC based contract by reference to the FIDIC
1999 Red Book.
The obligations and duties of the Employer and the Engineer are
identified and discussed. Potential pitfalls are highlighted and
likely consequences pointed out.
The importance of the Employer’s role in the preparation
of tenders, which fully reflect his requirements and duties and
obligations arising in the execution of the works, is emphasised.
The key role of the Engineer in the effective administration of
contracts after award is examined and commentary provided.
Included in the guide are a number of appendices, including
model letters which will be of value to less experienced staff
(particularly those whose mother-tongue is not the English
language).
Engineers, quantity surveyors and project managers engaged in
the contractual administration of international projects using
FIDIC forms of contract will find the concise guidance in simple
and jargon-free language provided here invaluable.
This, together with the author’s earlier book,
Contractor’s Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract
– which describes the duties, rights and responsibilities of
the Contractor – represents the totality of supervision,
design and execution of construction projects executed under the
FIDIC Conditions of Contract.

* Model letters for use by the Contractor
* Sample Interim Payment Certificate
* Model Form for Submissions to the Engineer
