 Practical use of the new 1999 FIDIC Conditions of Contract and Multi-Lateral Development Banks Harmonised Construction 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"). The course is designed to help the participants have confidence in working with these documents whether representing Employers, Consultants or Contractors.
 
Seminar tutors:  The tutors representing ECV in partnership with FIDIC, are experienced international Engineers who are also specialist tutors, consultants and adjudicators working with the New FIDIC Contract Conditions. ECV has undertaken over 150 training courses worldwide in the last 3 years & so can bring these training experiences to the benefit of the delegates. They are:
  • David Heslett BSc (Hons) C.Eng, FICE, Managing Director, ECV
  • Brian W Totterdill BSc (Hons) C.Eng, FICE, FIStruct E, FCI Arb., Senior Consultant, ECV
Course materials:  All delegates will be provided the following materials, in English:
  • New FIDIC Conditions of Contract (Construction Contract), 1999 Edition
  • FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction for Plant and Design-Build 1999 Editions
  • Work Book of the 101 important issues for recording answers
  • Notes on the changes to the FIDIC New Red Book within the MBDs’ Harmonised Construction Contract.
 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. It is particularly important to those involved in preparing or managing infrastructure projects financed under ISPA, the Cohesion Fund and the Structural Funds, as all works contracts use the FIDIC Conditions of Contract.
 
Ensure your staff are prepared for working with these important documents, which will become the international contractual language of the 21st Century.
