The Conditions of Contract prepared by FIDIC are used extensively as the standard contract of choice in international construction and civil engineering projects. Engineers working on these projects need to be aware of these contracts, but as the forms are complex it can be difficult to draw together all the sub-clauses relating to a particular issue.

The FIDIC Plant and Design-Build Forms of Contract Illustrated crystallizes the requirements of the FIDIC P&DB contract into a range of simple to follow flow charts, providing a clear and concise way to rapidly assimilate the requirements of each clause. The relationship between the various clauses in the contract, the concepts, process methods and actors involved in each sub-clause are all easily seen, and key issues around each topic (such as periods allowed, notices, etc) are all documented. In addition, related sub-clauses and/or important additional documents are linked so that the reader has a full understanding of the wider implications of each clause.

Authors’ note

In the Particular Conditions, there may be provisions only for obtaining permissions of planning, zoning and the like (matters followed after Sub-Paragraph (a)), or, in the same vein, only for obtaining permissions and performing the activities thereof with regard to the design/execution of the Works and remedying of defects (matters followed after Sub-Paragraph (b)). That is why an AND/OR shape is used after Shape 1 to fulfil either of the conditions explained above, and also the conditions when Particular Conditions include provisions for both of the cases as explained.
