Claims and Disputes under FIDIC
The success or failure of construction projects relies
to a great extent, on the number of claims and how far
reaching they are. Projects cannot be delivered on time,
within budget, or up to required standards unless claims
are properly managed by all parties. Whether you are a
contractor, consultant, owner or subcontractor, a proper
understanding of when one can claim, how claims are
brought, and how they are defended is essential. Because
claims always rely on the terms of the contract, users of
the FIDIC contracts need a thorough understanding of
how FIDIC deals with claims.
Session 1: Overview on claims
• What is a claim?
• Claims brought under the contract
• Claims brought outside of the contract
• Procedure for bringing claims – notices, notices
• Employer’s claims
Session 2: Claims for additional time
• Quantifying time claims
• The role of the programme
• Evaluating concurrent claims
• Delay and disruption claims
Session 3: Claims for additional money
• Claims for cost
• Claims for cost + reasonable profit
Session 4: Defence, avoidance and dispute resolution
• Defending claims
• Avoiding claims
• Are claims a bad thing?
• Dispute resolution under the FIDIC contracts
FIDIC Construction Subcontracting
In2010,FIDICpublishedasubcontractforusewiththeRedBook
Construction Contract. Currently, this is the only subcontract in
the FIDIC family of contracts. The FIDIC subcontract has many
interesting features (such as the passing down of risk) which
make it essential that users fully understand all of its provisions.
Since subcontractors are an integral part of the construction
process, it is not only the main contractor and the subcontractor
who need an understanding of their contract. Owners and
consultants have an interest in the successful completion of the
subcontract works and should, therefore, be familiar with the
subcontract.
Session 1: Introduction to the FIDIC Subcontract
• Where does the subcontract fit in with the FIDIC family?
• The principal agreement and subcontracting
• Appointing the subcontractor under FIDIC
• Different types of subcontract
• Nominated subcontractors under FIDIC
Session 2: Subcontractors and risk
• FIDIC provisions which pass down risk
• Transferring rights to the owner
• Liquidated damages and subcontractors
• Delay by (nominated) subcontractors
Session 3: Taking over
• Taking over the subcontract works: risks for the
subcontractor
• Pay when paid clauses
• Direct payment to subcontractors
Session 4: Subcontracting in the Design Build and EPC
Environment:
• Design by subcontractors
• Owner involvement in the appointment of subcontractors
• Subcontracting vs joint ventures
• What subcontract to use in EPC, Design Build environment.
