 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 International COnstruction Industry throughout the World. In Europe they are used by the European Commission for all their projects throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The Multi-Lateral Development Banks, including the World Bank, Islamic Bank for Development and the Asian Development Bank have adopted the 1999 FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction with modifications. These are covered in this course.
