Mastering Claims under The FIDIC Contracts

In all construction contracts there will be claims. Understanding how to properly prepare, defend and manage claims is essential for a successful project outcome, and will maximise the number of claims that can be settled without escalating into costly and time consuming disputes.

This 4 day workshop consists of nine modules and is designed to provide detailed practical assistance in the presentation, analysis and resolution of claims under the FIDIC Contracts. It is an essential guide to the common techniques and principles used for claims. The workshop will commence with an overview of the FIDIC suite of contracts and how this affects contract risk allocation. Module 1 will also include an introduction to Private Public Partnerships. Modules 2 to 8 focus on claims and will cover topics such as identifying claims, cause and effect, entitlement, the Parties’ contractual responsibilities and obligations, the Engineer’s obligations, notices, supporting records, extensions of time, delay and disruption, concurrency, delay analysis methods, variations, quantifying the claim and contractual procedures.
