Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Your claim notice under Sub-Clause 20.1 is one day late. What have you just lost?
Under the FIDIC Red Book 1999 — everything. Not a reduction. Not a discount. The entitlement is gone, and a claim that was strong on the merits dies on a date.
That single sentence is why contracts professionals who genuinely know FIDIC are paid what they are paid. And it is why I built this course.
What this course covers
The FIDIC Red Book and work through all twenty clauses
Clauses 1 to 6 — the Contract documents and their order of priority, the Employer’s obligations, the Engineer’s authority and the real limits on it, the Contractor’s general obligations, Nominated Subcontractors, and Staff and Labour.
Clauses 7 to 11 — Plant, Materials and workmanship; commencement, programme, delays, extension of the Time for Completion, delay damages and suspension; Tests on Completion; the Employer’s taking over; and the Defects Notification Period.
Clauses 12 to 14 — measurement and evaluation; Variations, Provisional Sums and adjustments for changes in legislation and cost; and the entire payment cycle from advance payment through Interim Payment Certificates and retention to the Final Payment Certificate, including the Contractor’s remedies when the Employer does not pay.
Clauses 15 to 19 — termination by the Employer, suspension and termination by the Contractor, the allocation of risk and the indemnities, the insurance obligations, and Force Majeure.
Clause 20 — the claim notice and the time bar, the Engineer’s determination, the Dispute Adjudication Board, amicable settlement, and arbitration.
Most people who have worked under FIDIC for years cannot reliably tell those three apart. They walk into a claim meeting quoting a right the Contract never gave them, and they lose the room in thirty seconds.
In this course, those three registers are separated out loud, every single time. When I tell you there is an entitlement, I tell you which Sub-Clause creates it. When something is only practice, I say so plainly. You will never again confuse “this is what we always do” with “this is what the Contract says.”
Twenty years of practice, not twenty years of theory
I have spent over twenty years administering these Conditions on live projects, and that experience runs through every lecture — the arguments that work, the ones that never do, and the mistakes that are made on the same clauses over and over again.

Every clause of the FIDIC Red Book 1999, Clause 1 through Clause 20
The contracting fundamentals and the FIDIC suite that come before it
Clear professional slides you can keep as a working reference

Who this course is for
Contracts Managers, Contract Administrators, Quantity Surveyors, Commercial Managers, Claims Consultants, Planning Engineers, Project Managers, Project Directors, Resident Engineers, Procurement Managers and Technical Office Managers — and anyone who signs, administers, argues about or is exposed to a FIDIC contract, whatever the title on the business card says.
Requirements
No prior FIDIC knowledge is assumed. Construction industry experience, or a serious interest in construction contracts, is all you need. A copy of the FIDIC Red Book 1999 is useful alongside the course but is not required — every clause is explained in full, in plain professional English, without reproducing FIDIC’s copyrighted text.
