FIDIC Matrix EPC Contract course, Amsterdam, February 2013
We examine systematically the provisions of the Silver Book general conditions, highlighting differences and similarities with the other FIDIC design-build construction forms, particularly the Yellow Book. Those attending should be in a better position to assess the relative risks and benefits of using a Silver Book based contract for a design-build.
The course begins by introducing FIDIC and the FIDIC contract forms, including latest developments. We place the Silver Book in context by examining the EPC/turnkey model of procurement and the position of the Silver Book within the 1999 suite of contracts. We follow with a clause by clause consideration of the Silver Book general conditions, focusing on such key issues as contractor responsibility for design, fitness for purpose, errors in Employer’s Requirements and unforeseeable physical conditions. We see how the Silver Book treatment of these and other topics compares and contrasts with the other design build forms and the Yellow Book in particular.
