This guide will help the contractor's staff overcome some of the
difficulties encountered on a typical international contract using
FIDIC forms.
The majority of FIDIC-based contracts use the Red Book
(Conditions of Contract for Construction), so this book
concentrates on the use of those particular forms. Supplementary
comments are included in Appendix C for the Yellow Book (Plant
& Design-Build) recommended for use where the contractor has a
design responsibility.
The Contractor is represented on site by the Contractor's
Representative who carries the overall responsibility for all the
Contractor's on-site activities. In order to provide guidance to
the Contractor's Representative and his staff, this book is divided
into five sections: A summarized general review of the Red Book
from the Contractor's perspective.A review of the activities and
duties of the Contractor's Representative in the same clause
sequencing as they appear in the Red Book.A summary of these
activities and duties but arranged in order of their likely time
sequence on site. This has the added intention of providing the
Contractor's Representative with a means of ensuring that documents
are not only properly provided to the Employer and Engineer, but
most importantly that they are provided within the time limits
specified in the Contract.A selection of model letters is provided
which make reference to the various clauses of the contract
requiring the Contractor to make submissions to the Employer or
Engineer.Various appendices.
The guide is not intended to be a review of the legal aspects of
FIDIC- based contracts; legal advice should be obtained as and when
necessary, particularly if the Contractor has little or no
knowledge of the local law.
Armed on site with a copy of The Contractor and the FIDIC
Contract, the Contractor's Representative will be more able to
avoid contractual problems rather than spend considerable time and
energy resolving those problems once they have arisen.
