FIDIC, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, has established a set of widely used standard forms of contracts for the construction industry, known as FIDIC contracts. These contracts provide a comprehensive framework for the management and execution of construction projects, outlining the rights and obligations of the various parties involved, including the employer, contractor, and engineer.
FIDIC contract management involves a structured approach to overseeing the contract's implementation, ensuring that all parties adhere to the agreed-upon terms and conditions. It encompasses aspects such as project documentation, dispute resolution mechanisms, risk allocation, and financial management.
Effective FIDIC contract management requires a thorough understanding of the contract provisions, proactive communication among stakeholders, and the ability to navigate potential challenges that may arise during the project lifecycle. Professionals involved in FIDIC contract management play a crucial role in ensuring the successful and equitable execution of construction projects globally.
