Previous editions of the FIDIC users' guide: A practical guide to the 1999 Red, Yellow, MDB Harmonised and Subcontract Books have established it as the most practicable and helpful guide available for practising contract administrators. The new edition builds on Brian Totterdill's legacy and will ensure that all users are brought up-to-date with the most recent FIDIC developments and its expansion into a more international arena. The new authors bring over 40 years' in-depth FIDIC experience to the book, and have revised and expanded the guide accordingly, including a more detailed section on the MDB, as well as a new section on the subcontract to the Red. Recent case studies and experiences, and newly published forms of contract, are featured to increase knowledge, stimulate better contract administration and highlight accountability.

The FIDIC Handbook Series will form a series of low cost guides to all FIDIC Contract administrators. They will ensure that appropriate timely actions are taken during the course of a construction contract in order to improve communication, stimulate better administration and highlight accountability at an early stage, thereby improving the working relationships between the parties and reducing the potential for disputes. The guidelines suggest actions for each party to take, stipulate the time to take such action, provide relevant comments and includes model letters where appropriate for each Sub-Clause within the Contract. This book, FIDIC Handbook - Pink, provides commentary on the Pink Book: The MDB Harmonised Edition of the Red Book for use with contracts which have been financed by one of the participating multilateral development banks.
