Applicable Fee
FIDIC charges a non-refundable fee for its appointments.
The fee applies for appointment of each member of the DAB, DB, DAAB or Adjudicator, as the case may, and amounts to:
- EUR4000 for appointments made for contracts based on FIDIC standard form of Contract
- EUR5500 for appointments made for bespoke contracts under license from FIDIC.
- EUR7000 for appointments made for other contracts by agreement of the parties to the particular contract
Payment is made either by bank transfer or credit card authorisation by the applicant at the time the request is made.
No action will be taken by FIDIC until the full fee is paid.
The payment is non-refundable whether or not an appointment is made, for whatever reason.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Parties’ contract, the Party who pays the appointment fee should be reimbursed half of the fee by the other Party (for example: under Sub-Clause 21.2 [Failure to Appoint DAAB Member(s)] of the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books 2017 it is stated “Each Party shall be responsible for paying one-half of the remuneration of the appointing entity or official”).
To make a request, please fill the form below. FIDIC relies upon the accuracy of the information provided in the form to make the selection for the appointment.
