1st Edition
by Michael D. Robinson (Author)
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.
