This comprehensive guide offers invaluable insights into the implementation of FIDIC contracts, seamlessly blending modern project management principles with legal requirements. By highlighting the numerous tools within the FIDIC suites for works and services, the authors demonstrate how they can complement the innovative approaches necessary for sustainable development. With a wealth of experience in construction management, construction law, and the application of FIDIC contracts as a FIDIC engineer, procurement/claims consultant, and FIDIC accredited/certified adjudicator and trainer, the authors have crafted a unique and much-needed book that bridges the gap between FIDIC contract management and project management practices.

The book is organized around project management knowledge areas, providing detailed explanations of not only the FIDIC works contracts but also the project management requirements of the contract between the Employer and Engineer (White Book 2017) and the FIDIC supply-chain contracts. It elucidates how these various contracts interrelate within the framework of project governance. By linking the project management knowledge areas from the PMBOK® and its Construction Extension with the FIDIC Body of Knowledge (FBOK), the book offers practical recommendations for integrating best practices and innovations.

To enhance understanding, the book is accompanied by 54 flowcharts and 16 case studies, along with a railway scenario that showcases the application of the recommended procedures. This resource will serve as an indispensable guide for employers, contractors, and engineers tasked with procuring and managing construction projects. It offers valuable insights for technical, legal, and financial experts seeking to optimize processes, contracts, and digital tools in the construction industry.
