Construction contracts shape how projects are delivered, risks are allocated and entitlements are protected.
This two-day capability development programme develops practical understanding of FIDIC contract management, from formation and mobilisation to variations, payments, claims, dispute avoidance and closeout. Case studies connect the contractual framework with common project challenges.
After the program you will get to learn:
Select an appropriate FIDIC form and understand contract structure and document precedence.
Clarify party obligations, risk allocation, governance and decision-making authority.
Manage contractual notices, communications, records and time bars.
Connect programme management and delay analysis with extension-of-time requirements.
Administer variations, valuation, measurement, payments and financial entitlements.
Prepare and assess claims using contractual grounds and contemporary evidence.
Follow dispute resolution, taking-over, defects management and final closeout processes.
