FIDIC Users' Guide: A practical guide to the Red, Yellow, MDB Harmonised and Subcontract Books focuses on the practical administration of the Federation Internationale des Ingenieurs-Conseils (FIDIC) Conditions of Contract for Construction and the Conditions of Contract for Plant & Design-Build, a revised family of Conditions of Contract published in 1999 to address the increasing size and complexity of construction projects. Brian Barr and Leo Grutters have comprehensively updated Brian Totterdill’s previous edition, taking into account newly published forms of contract, case studies, and FIDIC’s expansion into a more international arena. The book recognises the growing tendency for projects to be administered by local employers, consultants and contractors as well as by experienced international organisations. Thus, the new edition of the FIDIC Users' Guide aims improve working relationships between all contract parties.

The guidelines suggest actions for each party to take, stipulate the time to take such action, provide relevant comments and includes model letters where appropriate for each Sub-Clause within the Contract.This book, FIDIC Handbook - Red, provides commentary on the Red Book: FIDIC Conditions of Contracts for Construction for building and engineering works designed by the Employer.

The FIDIC (Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils) forms of contract are used extensively throughout the world to further the aims of the construction industry at large. In both the developed and the developing world they play a crucial role in ensuring that project objectives are satisfactorily achieved.The FIDIC Quick Reference Guide: Silver Book provides commentary on the FIDIC Silver Book: FIDIC Conditions of Contract For EPC/Turnkey Projects, which is suitable for a process or power plant, a factory or similar facility, or an infrastructure project or other type of development, if a higher degree of certainty of final price and time is required and the Contractor takes total responsibility for the design and execution of the project. The book is a valuable tool for practitioners who are either preparing or using the contract form, as it directs the user through the various cross-referenced sub-clauses.Rather than solving a problem after the conflict has occurred, the FIDIC Quick Reference Guide series of books and associated electronic aids set out how to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.The FIDIC Quick Reference Guide seriesConcentrates on two issues: what to do and when to actEstablishes a simple sub-clause by sub-clause format to enable easy referencingIs designed to be used alongside the project’s contract formProvides a quick overview of the actions to be taken and the time in which to take such actions
