Most construction disputes begin with a missed notice, an undocumented instruction or a claim submitted too late. Under FIDIC conditions, strict time bars and defined roles mean that careful administration decides who carries cost and delay. Five days prepare employers, engineers and contractors to manage the contract rather than react to it.
You study the structure of the FIDIC suites, including the Red, Yellow and Silver Books, and the duties of the Employer, Engineer and Contractor. Sessions cover the Contract Agreement and Particular Conditions, risk allocation, programme and time, variations, valuation and payment certificates, claims and notices, extension of time and cost, completion and defects, termination, and the dispute avoidance and adjudication process. Policy topics place contracts within public procurement regulation, performance security, insurance and the role of regulators and funding agencies. The programme is built for contract managers, project managers, quantity surveyors, resident engineers, procurement and legal officers and contractor commercial teams on government, donor and private projects. It runs in classrooms, online or in-house. Participants leave able to draft a compliant notice, evaluate a claim and keep a contemporaneous record. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded on completion.
Infrastructure programmes across Africa depend on contracts that allocate risk precisely, and many of them use FIDIC forms favoured by governments, development banks and international contractors. Time bars, notice requirements and certification procedures leave little room for informal habits, and a single missed step can extinguish a legitimate claim or expose an employer to avoidable cost.
The Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Contract Management & Administration (FIDIC) Training Course walks through the life of a contract in the order events occur. Participants start with the regulatory and policy environment, covering public procurement rules, funder requirements and contract formation, and then examine the allocation of responsibilities and risks in the general and particular conditions. Later sessions deal with programme control, variations, payment, claims, delay analysis and the stages of dispute avoidance and resolution.
Instruction is practical. Delegates work on sample correspondence, claim files and payment applications, draft notices against real contract clauses and take part in a mock adjudication, so they can apply the clauses to their own projects the following week.
At the close of the course, participants will be able to:
