What are FIDIC Contracts?
FIDIC contracts come from the acronym Fédération Internationale Des Ingénieurs-Conseils; this is French and it is for consulting engineers to join together in an international federation. The federation was founded in the early 1900s by France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Moreover, the aim was to create standards of construction which could be applied to any construction project around the world to ensure a benchmark of requirements. The contract forms themselves consist of six coloured books which pertain to different sectors of construction build projects. They are the most commonly used type of contracts in both the UK and worldwide. They are an internationally recognise practice and it is an excellent skill to be knowledgeable in them. The College of Contract Management offers a Professional Practice in FIDIC Contracts to provide you with all the essential knowledge about the types of contracts and their contents through their online courses.
