When all parties involved in the construction process fullyunderstand their roles and are able to anticipate potential pointsof conflict, disputes and delays will be minimised.
The Employer's and Engineer's Guide to the FIDICConditions of Contract sets out the essential administrativerequirements of a FIDIC based contract by reference to the FIDIC1999 Red Book.
The obligations and duties of the Employer and the Engineer areidentified and discussed. Potential pitfalls are highlighted andlikely consequences pointed out.
The importance of the Employer's role in the preparationof tenders, which fully reflect his requirements and duties andobligations arising in the execution of the works, is emphasised.The key role of the Engineer in the effective administration ofcontracts after award is examined and commentary provided.
Included in the guide are a number of appendices, includingmodel letters which will be of value to less experienced staff(particularly those whose mother-tongue is not the Englishlanguage).
