FIDIC services agreements and conditions of contract are being increasingly used by the
international construction industry throughout the world. In Europe, they
are used by the European Commission for many projects throughout
central and eastern Europe. The Multilateral Development Banks (MDB), including the World Bank, the Interamerican Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the African Development, have adopted the FIDIC MDB Harmonised Edition of the Conditions of Contract for Construction. Many bilateral and multilateral agencies have adopted the FIDIC White Book for engaging the services of professionals. |
