FIDIC CONTRACTS COACHING

Why This Matters

FIDIC contracts are clear in structure but demanding in administration.
Risk is deliberately allocated.
Entitlement is procedural.
Late or incorrect action quickly erodes rights.

Most problems under FIDIC arise not from misunderstanding the clauses, but from failing to follow the required process at the right time.

This programme builds clarity, confidence and discipline in administering FIDIC contracts properly.
