Large construction and infrastructure contracts are won or lost in the administration: a notice served a day late, an instruction not recorded or a claim without contemporary records can cost a party millions. Five days build the discipline needed to run FIDIC contracts properly. Using the Red, Yellow and Silver Book structure, you examine the roles of Employer, Contractor, Engineer and Employer's Representative, the order of precedence of documents, risk allocation, and the Particular Conditions that quietly shift it. Sessions then go through time-bar notices, variations, programmes, delay analysis, extension of time, loss and expense, payment applications and certificates, and termination.
You also study claims management and the contractual dispute path, including determination by the Engineer, Dispute Avoidance and Adjudication Boards, amicable settlement and arbitration. Project directors, contract administrators, employer's representatives, quantity surveyors, engineers, legal advisers and procurement specialists on roads, water, energy and building projects will benefit most. Learning is built on worked claim scenarios and notice drafting. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, and a CPD-accredited certificate is issued.
Public bodies, development banks and private owners across Africa and beyond rely on FIDIC conditions to allocate risk on major works. The forms are well tested, but they are demanding. They rely on strict timelines, formal notices and a clear distinction between the roles of the parties, and they punish teams that treat administration as paperwork to be completed later.
The Advanced Contract Management & Administration (FIDIC) Training Course goes beyond a clause tour. Participants first set the frame: how the different FIDIC books divide design, risk and payment, and how special conditions and the contract documents interact. From there, the course follows the life of a project. It covers commencement and programme control, communication protocols, change control, valuation of variations, payment mechanisms, cost and time claims, and the Engineer's duty to act fairly when agreeing or determining matters.
Considerable time is given to the difficult areas: concurrent delay, prolongation and disruption costs, notice and particulars requirements, force majeure and unforeseeable conditions, and termination rights. Participants then examine how disputes are escalated and resolved. Teaching relies on extracts from realistic contract data, correspondence logs and programmes, so that each concept is practised in the form it arrives on a desk. Participants leave with templates and a systematic approach for protecting their organisation's position.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
