Financial Management for Contract Management & Administration (FIDIC) Training Course in Abuja, Nigeria
Classroom training in Abuja · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 2,800
Most construction disputes end up being about money: late certificates, unvalued variations, disputed delay costs and cash-flow gaps that stall a site. Administrators who manage the financial side of the contract from the first day protect both the employer and the contractor.
Five days link contract clauses to the numbers. You study how the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books deal with the contract price, provisional sums, advance payment, retention, interim payment applications, price adjustment and final account, and how the Engineer or Employer's representative determines amounts due. Exercises cover bills of quantities measurement, valuation of variations, daywork, notices and time-barred entitlements, extension of time and prolongation cost, and quantification of claims with supporting records. You build cash-flow forecasts, cost-to-complete reports, and bond and guarantee registers, and see where currency and tax issues arise. Quantity surveyors, contract managers, project accountants, engineers, procurement and finance officers, employer representatives and contractor commercial staff will gain practical routines. Afterwards you can prepare and check a payment certificate, assess a variation and compile a claim file that holds up. Classroom, online or in-house delivery, with a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Construction and engineering contracts rarely run exactly as planned. Ground conditions change, designs are revised, materials move in price and approvals take longer than expected. Each of these events has a financial consequence, and FIDIC forms set out procedures and time limits for dealing with them. Where administrators miss a notice or keep weak records, entitlements can be lost and disputes become more expensive to resolve.
The Financial Management for Contract Management & Administration (FIDIC) Training Course builds the financial competence needed to administer a contract from award to final account. It begins with the contract price structure, payment mechanisms and security instruments, then covers measurement, valuation and certification. Participants move on to variations, adjustments, delay and disruption, and the preparation and assessment of claims, including the records and notices the contract demands. The programme also covers financial control tools such as cash-flow projections, earned value indicators, cost-to-complete forecasts and reporting to funders.
Learning relies on worked examples and spreadsheets. Participants value interim certificates, price a series of variations, quantify an extension of time claim and finish with a checklist and templates that can be adapted to their own FIDIC-based projects.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the financial provisions of the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books.
- Prepare, check and certify interim payment applications, including retention and advance recovery.
- Value variations, provisional sums and daywork using contract rates and fair valuation principles.
- Apply price adjustment formulas and handle changes in cost and legislation.
- Quantify delay and disruption claims with supporting records and notice compliance.
- Forecast cash flow and cost to complete and report variances to the employer or funder.
- Administer bonds, guarantees, insurances and the final account.
