FIDIC was founded in July 1913 as the
result of an invitation by Belgian and
French engineers to attend “le Premier
Congress International des Ingénieurs -
conseils et Ingénieurs-experts.”

A Brief Look Into the Past
FIDIC CONTRACT
What is FIDIC?
FIDIC stands for the Federation Internationale des Ingenieurs-
Counseils (International Federation of Consulting Engineers)
The foundation was found in an effort to create a uniform set
of documentation for contractual agreements which are
applicable for use in different types of construction projects,
and also to simplify the bidding processes to become more
„user friendly‟. Keep in mind that most FIDIC forms of
contracts are agreements between the employer and the
contractor.

FIDIC CONTRACT
(First Edition 1999)
The Engineer (employed by the Employer) is responsible for the
administration of the project and supervision of the works as well as
for issuing instructions, certifying payments, determining completion,
and others.
The engineer is required to settle a claim. He is required to consult
with each of the parties to try and reach an agreement
FIDIC CONTRACT
(First Edition 1999)
If an engineer’s determination is not agreed by either of the parties,
then the dispute will be referred to a Dispute Adjudication Board
(DAB) مجلس إدارة المنازعاتfor a decision.
The DAB is formed of one or three people who are jointly appointed
by the parties.
If the decision of the DAB is not accepted by any of the parties then
the final step will be resolution via an international arbitration.

Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects
EPC means Engineering, Procurement and Construction
A Contractor takes on full responsibility for the design and execution
of a project.
It is suitable for use on projects of power stations, airports, and
private-infrastructure projects (communication networks, water
processing,….)
FIDIC CONTRACT

Risks for completion to time, cost and quality are transferred to the
Contractor and so the Silver Book is only suitable for use with
experienced Contractors familiar with sophisticated risk
management techniques
Silver Book requires the Contractor to accept a higher level of risk
than is typical under most other forms of contract.
Not all risk is passed to the Contractor under the Silver Book and the
Employer still retains risks for war, terrorism and Force Majeure.
There is no reference to an Engineer. Although the employer can
appoint a representative in order to facilitate communications with
the contractor.
All claims are submitted to the employer
It provides conditions relating to “Tests on Completion”
