Practical use of the 1999 FIDIC Conditions of Contract
  
Providing essential contractual know-how for working on future international projects

The 1999 editions of  FIDIC Conditions of Contract are recommended by the European Commission throughout Central and Eastern Europe for the one billion Euro per annum Transport and Environmental Works Programme, and are increasingly being adopted by IFI's and private clients worldwide.
 
This practical seminar, provided by professional engineers with extensive international experience, explains and illustrates the use of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (the "Construction Contract") and the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build (the " Plant and Design-Build Contract").
 
Seminar tutors:  The tutors are provided by European Construction Ventures, ECV, which specialises in training and management consultancy to the international construction and infrastructure industries.
  • David Heslett BSc (Hons) C.Eng, FICE, Managing Director, ECV
Course materials:  All delegates will be provided the following materials, in English:
  • 1999  FIDIC Conditions of Contract (Construction Contract; Plant and Design-Build Contract)
  • Course notes, especially written for using the Construction Contract 
  • Schedule of overheads used during the seminar
Who should attend?
The seminar provides the necessary knowledge for professionals from Government Ministries and Agencies, Private Sector Employers, Consulting Engineers, Contractors, Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Legal Advisers and all involved with the next generation of International Projects.
