“The Management of Contract Claims and the Resolution of Disputes”

Under the 1999 FIDIC Contracts and Multilateral Development Banks’ Harmonised Construction Contract 2010
JW Marriott Hotel Cairo, Egypt
28th & 29th October 2018

Workshop Overview:
With all FIDIC contracts there will be claims. This training course is designed to provide practical assistance to those working with
the New FIDIC Contract Conditions (1999 Editions) in the management of claims and achieving resolution to claims and in particular
the workings of the Dispute Adjudication Board.
It is applicable to all the Parties involved within a New FIDIC Contract – the Employer, the Contractor, the Engineer, and the DAB
Members. By having a professional understanding of the responsibilities and rights of the Parties under a New FIDIC Contract and
the procedures to manage claims, the resolution of claims will be achieved more successfully. The World Bank and the IFI’s also
require a Dispute Board on the same basis as the FIDIC Contract as detailed in the “MDB’s Harmonised Construction Contract”. The
principal tutor of the course is a very experienced British engineer, who has extensive involvement with FIDIC claims, disputes,
adjudication, and arbitration procedures throughout the world.
Who Should Attend?
The training course provides the necessary knowledge for professionals from Government Ministries and Agencies, Private Sector
Employers, Consulting Engineers, Contractors, Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Legal Advisers and all involved with the next
generation of International Projects. It is particular important where FIDIC and DAB procedures shall be implemented and
adjudication is available to resolve disputes.
