FIDIC Matrix Contracts Course, Beijing, 30-31 October, 1st November 2013
BEIJING MARRIOTT HOTEL NORTHEAST
A 2-day FIDIC accredited training course on: The FIDIC Contracts: Understanding and Using the FIDIC Conditions of Contract 1999 in Beijing, 30-31 October 2013.
On 1st November, following the FIDIC training, delegates will be invited to participate in a seminar (at no extra cost) on Chinese experience of international contracting. Bringing together Chinese and foreign representatives from many backgrounds, delegates will be able to discuss the practical issues facing Chinese parties in international projects.
This event will be in Chinese with simultaneous English translation.
This 2-day seminar is designed to provide a practical understanding of the three FIDIC forms of contract mainly in use in the world today: these are the 1999 Conditions of Contract for Construction (the Red Book); for Plant and Design-Build (the Yellow Book); and for EPC/Turnkey Projects (the Silver Book). We also introduce the relatively recent (2008) Design-Build-Operate (Gold Book) contract. The course is fully accredited by FIDIC and each delegate will receive a certificate of participation.
The seminar will be conducted in English with simultaneous Chinese translation.
The course begins by introducing FIDIC and the FIDIC suite of contracts, including latest developments. We place the Red, Yellow and Silver Books in context, examining the specific reasons for each contract form and showing how each form compares and contrasts with the others in terms of such matters as contractor risk.
After considering key general provisions of each contract and the role of the Engineer in the Red and Yellow Books, we examine in more detail four areas of particular practical importance: Delays and extensions of time, including delay damages; Variations and adjustments to the contract price; Payment and related procedures, including delayed payment; and Claims and the resolving of disputes, including the DAB process and arbitration.
Throughout the seminar there will be ample opportunity to discuss the material covered and active participation will be encouraged.
The course fee includes all tuition for the two days, course materials including copies of the Red, Yellow and Silver Book general conditions (in English) and coffee/tea breaks and lunch on each day. Visas, travel and overnight ac-commodation are not included.
