FIDIC Users' Guide, 3rd edition

FIDIC Users' Guide: A practical guide to the Red, Yellow, MDB Harmonised and Subcontract Books focuses on the practical administration of the Federation Internationale des Ingenieurs-Conseils (FIDIC) Conditions of Contract for Construction and the Conditions of Contract for Plant & Design-Build, a revised family of Conditions of Contract published in 1999 to address the increasing size and complexity of construction projects. This new edition provides a comprehensive update to the established FIDIC Users' Guide to the 1999 Red and Yellow Books, originally written by Brian Totterdill. Brian Barr and Leo Grutters have revised and expanded the previous edition accordingly, taking into account newly published forms of contract, case studies, and FIDIC's expansion into a more international arena. The book also recognises the growing tendency for projects to be administered by local employers, consultants and contractors as well as by experienced international organisations. Thus, the new edition of the FIDIC Users' Guide aims to reduce the potential for disputes by increasing knowledge, stimulating better contract administration, highlighting accountability and improving working relationships between all contract parties. FIDIC Users' Guide: A practical guide to the Red, Yellow, MDB Harmonised and Subcontract Books includes the following. This book is an essential guide to FIDIC for all those involved in contract and construction, including practising contract administrators, Practitioners of FIDIC Construction Contracts, Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Planners, and Lawyers.
