FCL is committed to providing and administering certification and recertification programmes to persons who meet the appropriate knowledge and competency standards established for the consulting engineering industry.
Our mission is to enhance the performance of individuals working in the consulting engineering industry by setting appropriate standards, building on professional knowledge and supporting individuals in their career development aspirations.
Training plays an important role in the construction industry. The consulting engineers' role is crucial in providing a balanced and well-administered contract. Training will enhance the capability and capacity of engineers, which in turn will positively impact the overall industry around the world.
FIDIC Credentialing will ensure that quality evaluation and certification programmes are available throughout the world and all year round to industry professionals in the global construction and infrastructure sector. The importance of these programmes is underlined by the fact that a number of the multilateral banks [who are] using the FIDIC suite of contracts have indicated a very significant increase in the need for adjudicators and contract managers to support their project delivery. FCL will provide the necessary support to meet that increased demand through the availability of local programmes worldwide.
FIDIC Credentialing (FCL) establishes a uniform standard for the requirements of training and certification of professionals involved with the built environment which hitherto were not always adequately undertaken. This is a significant development that will enhance the expertise of those delivering services in the construction and engineering industry globally and incentivise more professionals to avail themselves of opportunities to gain the FIDIC Body of Knowledge and be recognised by clients, funding agencies and their peers. I am pleased to be associated with FCL as a member of the management board and happy to support this new initiative.
Over its 107-year history, FIDIC has focussed the international consulting engineering industry on the delivery of infrastructure through the use of best available business practices. FIDIC Credentialing Ltd represents the next step in the process of delivering the most qualified practising engineers to a consistent and reliable high standard of knowledge and application. It is both a great pleasure and an honour to contribute to this effort.
This certification initiative of FIDIC brings cohesion and clarity to the developmental and management body of knowledge required of the consulting engineer as addition to the core knowledge of engineering. The use of FIDIC Credentialling Limited provides the independence required of a certification body. Successful implementation would result in improved project delivery as well as continuous development in the knowledge, competences and skills of the practitioners.
Having been a member for many years of the former FIDIC assessment panel for contract trainers, I am glad to expand upon that role and be a member of the newly formed FLC Certification Board, which brings certification services to the next level. The constantly growing use and popularity of our FIDIC forms of contract generates a corollary increasing market demand for professionals who are proficient in FIDIC contracts. Having such proficiency verified and certified by independent peers is a valuable mechanism of trust and confidence that FCL brings to the market.
FIDIC Contracts Law and Practice is an important guidebook for any professional involved in construction projects. It is a part of the Construction Practice Series and is written by Ellis Baker, Scott Chalmers, and Ben Mellors. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) contracts and is an essential reference for lawyers, contractors, and engineers.
The FIDIC contracts are widely used in the construction industry. They provide a standard form of contract that is recognized internationally and is used in a wide range of construction projects, including infrastructure, energy, and building construction. The contracts are designed to allocate risks between the parties, set out the contractual obligations, and provide for dispute resolution mechanisms.
The book covers all aspects of the FIDIC contracts, including their history, structure, and use in practice. It explains the various clauses of the contracts and provides guidance on how to interpret and apply them. The book also discusses the key issues that arise in the use of these contracts, such as delays, variations, and termination.
One of the strengths of the book is its clear and concise writing style. The authors have taken care to explain complex legal concepts in a way that is easy to understand. The book is also well-organized, with each chapter focusing on a particular aspect of the contracts. This makes it easy to find the information you need.
Another strength of the book is its focus on practical issues. The authors draw on their experience in advising clients on FIDIC contracts to provide guidance on how to deal with common issues that arise in practice. This includes advice on how to deal with claims and disputes, as well as tips on how to negotiate the contracts.
The book is also up-to-date, with coverage of the latest developments in FIDIC contract law and practice. This includes coverage of the new 2017 edition of the FIDIC contracts and the latest case law on the interpretation of the contracts.
Overall, FIDIC Contracts Law and Practice is an indispensable reference for anyone involved in construction projects. It provides clear and practical guidance on the use and interpretation of the FIDIC contracts and is an essential resource for lawyers, contractors, and engineers. Whether you are new to FIDIC contracts or have years of experience, this book is a must-read.
Background: Fdration Internationale Des Ingnieurs-Conseils (\"FIDIC\")'s Red (Construction), Yellow (Plant and Design and Build) and Silver (EPC) Books (\"Rainbow Suite of Contracts\") are widely used on major construction and infrastructure projects worldwide. Their popularity stems largely from the fact that these standard forms are familiar to market participants across both civil and common law jurisdictions.
The Development: Almost 18 years after it released the first edition of the Rainbow Suite of Contracts, FIDIC has launched the much anticipated second edition of the Rainbow Suite of Contracts.
Looking Ahead: The updates made to the Rainbow Suite of Contracts are intended to, amongst others, reflect current international best practices and to promote greater clarity, transparency and certainty in standard form contracting between employers and contractors.
On December 5 and 6, 2017, at the International Contract Users Conference in London, FIDIC launched the updates to the first edition of the Rainbow Suite of Contracts. This is the first time these contracts have been amended since their release in 1999. The new contracts are not yet publicly available, but this update is based on FIDIC's announcements made to date. A more detailed update will be issued when FIDIC formally releases the new contracts.
The new contract forms are substantially more prescriptive, particularly across formal notice and time period requirements, contain more detailed \"deeming provisions\" (e.g. if notices are not issued on time) and hard and soft time bars. Some specific changes made to the Rainbow Suite of Contracts include the following.
In the new edition of the Red and Yellow Books, changes have been made to enhance the role of the Engineer in the overall management of the contract as well as in resolving claims between the parties before these become disputes. These changes include requiring the Engineer to:
A default percentage of 5 percent profit has been included across the amended Rainbow Suite of Contracts where a contractor would be entitled to \"Cost Plus Profit.\" It is interesting that the default percentage is applied across the Red, Yellow, and Silver Book contracts notwithstanding the different risk profiles for build only, design and build, and EPC/turnkey contracting. FIDIC contracts are commonly used in developing infrastructure jurisdictions, and many contractors will consider such a default profit percentage as low. Note the parties are able to specifically agree to a different percentage, but 5 percent will be the default amount in the absence of agreement under the new terms.
The updated claims procedure has now been expanded in what is seen to be FIDIC's attempt to achieve reciprocity between the parties. Under the updated edition, both the Contractor and the Employer are now required to submit claims (if any) under an updated claims process. This is thought to reduce ambiguities created under the first edition of the suite of contracts with respect to claims made by the Employer. Under the new edition:
Under the new documentation, all DAABs are to be constituted as standing DAABs with the primary purpose of preventing claims from escalating into disputes, and this is thought by FIDIC to be achieved if a standing board is appointed by the parties for the duration of the contract to resolve claims/disagreements as and when they arise. An additional role of the DAAB includes providing assistance (where agreed to by the parties) to informally discuss or attempt to resolve any issues or disagreements.
