The Employer s and Engineer s Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract sets out the essential administrative requirements of a FIDIC based contract by reference to the FIDIC 1999 Red Book.


The obligations and duties of the Employer and the Engineer are identified and discussed. Potential pitfalls are highlighted and likely consequences pointed out.


The importance of the Employer s role in the preparation of tenders, which fully reflect his requirements and duties and obligations arising in the execution of the works, is emphasised. The key role of the Engineer in the effective administration of contracts after award is examined and commentary provided.


Included in the guide are a number of appendices, including model letters which will be of value to less experienced staff (particularly those whose mother-tongue is not the English language).


Engineers, quantity surveyors and project managers engaged in the contractual administration of international projects using FIDIC forms of contract will find the concise guidance in simple and jargon-free language provided here invaluable.


This, together with the author s earlier book, Contractor s Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract - which describes the duties, rights and responsibilities of the Contractor represents the totality of supervision, design and execution of construction projects executed under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract.


This book s companion website offers invaluable resources to freely download, adapt and use:


Model letters for use by the Employer
Model letters for use by the Contractor
Sample Interim Payment Certificate
Model Form for Submissions to the Engineer
Model Form of Engineer s Order for Varied Works
Model Form of Daywork/Daily Record Sheets
