FIDIC Matrix Design-Build Contracts course, Dubai, UAE, 15-16 September 2014
This 2-day intensive course will provide a thorough, up-to-date understanding of the main FIDIC design-build construction forms of contract. The provisions of the Plant and Design-Build (Yellow Book) and EPC/Turnkey (Silver Book) contracts will be considered in detail and compared and contrasted. Which form should I use as the basis for my design-build project? What are the risks involved for the contractor and the employer? How can I better manage these risks and use and operate the contract more effectively and with better results than before?
The course begins by introducing FIDIC and the FIDIC suite of contracts, including latest developments. We put the design-build forms in context, looking at the basic differences in risk allocation between the EPC/turnkey model of the Silver Book and the more traditional Yellow Book.
We follow with a detailed consideration of the individual clauses of the two Books, comparing and contrasting them with respect to such key issues as contractor responsibility for design, fitness for purpose, errors in Employer’s Requirements, and unforeseeable physical conditions. We also consider the role of the Engineer in the Yellow Book and practical points about the administration of the two contracts as well as issues arising from multiple contracting and front-end engineering design.
