The New FIDIC Suite of Contracts, officially launched in December 2017, has been received with great interest by the global construction industry generating high levels of engagement and debate amongst Users and advisers alike. As Consulting Engineers, Employers, Contractors, and Construction Law professionals form a view on the capabilities of the 2017 Suite, our panel of FIDIC experts and Contracts’ Committee members will briefly remind delegates of the main changes introduced and the reasons why these were decided by FIDIC to be necessary or an improvement, and proceed to briefly respond to some of the points raised in them any articles and commentary on the new Suite published in the last few months, thus continuing the dialog started last year. This session will help set the scene for the morning sessions addressing the way in which the new Suite of Contracts has been received by the global industry.

11:30 Global Implementation of FIDIC - Spotlight on China and Hong Kong China’s infrastructure requirements show no signs of slowing down. Specialist advisory firms

estimate the investment needed to be circa US$9 trillion by 2025 and Beijing puts that the investment required to build infrastructure supporting its Belt and Road initiative alone at approximately US$ 890 billion – a figure further increased by physical infrastructure network required to realize the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) ofre-connecting Asia, Europe and Africa over land and linking East and West via a network of sea routes. FIDIC conditions of contract have been widely used in China for the delivery of major construction projects for a number of years now, primarily in projects financed by foreign governments, international and multilateral organizations or foreign companies. This panel comes together to examine the use of FIDIC in the region and how this is helping underpin major construction projects

Moderator: Dr. Nelson Ogunshakin OBE, Chief Executive Officer, FIDIC

Panellists: Liu Luobing, Member of the FIDIC Board; Vice Chief Engineer, SHANGHAI INVESTMENT CONSULTING CORPORATIONAisha Nadar, Member, FIDIC BOARD

12:05 Chinese Contractors’ Perspective on the Use of FIDIC in the International Market Having assisted Chinese contractors in their overseas projects long before OBOR became an official policy, Pinsent Masons has been a firm advocate for the adoption of FIDIC based contracts. We will examine the key drivers that has led to FIDIC becoming universally accepted by Chinese contractors, not only as the form of contract they enter into, but as setting the international “norm” for a fair and equitable allocation of risks, even when FIDIC is not used. We will also provide an insight into the Chinese Contractors perspective of the new FIDIC 2nd edition.Bernard Ang, Partner, PINSENT MASONS

12:25 Effectively Managing Contract Variation TermsUnder FIDIC Variations are a key issue on projects. It is important to know how a variation should be

ordered and what instructions must be given. Disputes arise when there is a disagreement about whether an item of work counts as extra or if it has been formally ordered

Ben Bury, Partner, HFWBen Mellors, Partner, HFW

12:55 Lunch

14:00 Effective Claims Management Under FIDIC –Avoiding, Containing and Handling claims

Claims are not inevitable. Giving attention to their avoidance and containment is just as important as properly presenting and handling them. This session will discuss ways to prevent claims from arising in the first place. In addition, it will focus on the situation ifc laims do arise and cover how to best present claimsand successfully pursue or defend them. Coverage includes:n Understanding typical project risksn Tools to avoid and manage claimsn FIDIC’s requirements for notices of claimn Handling time bar provisions under common and civil lawn Preventing claims from becoming dispute

13:50 Dredging and Reclamation Works / Harbour Projects Under FIDIC

This session will focus on the use of FIDIC contracts on harbour projects involving the choice between the Blue Book (Dredging and Reclamation form, 2nd Edition) and the Rainbow Edition, 2017. It will shed light on how the Chinese One Belt, One Road - respectively Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has since 2013 focused on the development of a transportation network in Asia involving not only roads but also harbour projects. The Islands in South East Asia being by nature linked by harbours means that the development of terminals for the exchange of goods is therefore crucial. The potential application of the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Gold Books for container terminals will also be discussed.

n Special Risk in harbour projects? n Which contract form for which type of harbour projects suits best? n What are the major advantages of the Blue Book? n What makes the Rainbow Edition a suitable basis? n Pitfalls in harbour projects

Karsten Gallip, International Consultant Engineer, INROS LACKNER Sebastian Hök, Adjudicator, FIDIC PRESIDENT’S LIST

14:35 DAAB’s Role Under FIDIC Conditions - Current Practices and The New Rules Disputes have always featured in construction projects, but today’s cost-sensitive environment

demands that the parties focus on project success and effectively avoid disputes and resolve unavoidable disputes efficiently. The FIDIC 2017 updates focus on dispute avoidance and reflect current best practice for Dispute Boards. The main changes and improvements introduced in the 2017 edition will be explained and discussed during this session. Included in the discussion will be an overview of the reformulation of the current 20 clauses of the FIDIC contracts, with a new Clause 21 dedicated to dispute avoidance and resolution and the tools and techniques offered in the New Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Board (“DAAB”) Procedural Rules.

WORKSHOP A: Introduction to the 2017 FIDIC Suite of ContractsMonday, 24 June 2019, 09:00 - 18:30

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS - Monday, 24 June 2019

12:30 Lunch

Ideal as a refresher course for experienced FIDIC users or as an introductory session for those just getting acquainted with the potential of the suite. Attend this workshop to acquire essential knowledge of the main forms of contract comprised in the “rainbow” suite of FIDIC contracts.

Morning Overview:

Although FIDIC was established in 1913, the Red Book was first published in August 1957. It proved to be very successful and remarkably remained largely unchanged throughout its second edition in 1967 and third edition in 1977. In its fourth edition of 1987, extensive changes were made and in particular to the role of the Engineer and dispute resolution. Further wide-ranging and elaborate changes were then made in the 1999 Suite of Contracts. In order to fully understand the issues involved and the interpretation of the various provisions of the FIDIC Forms, it is important to know the evolution of the essential concepts of this successful form of contract. This Workshop will take you through the development of some of the essential features of the Forms from 1957 to today, with a particular focus on the following four particular areas:

n Increase in the use of definitions

n The role of the Engineer

n Risk allocation and administration

n Dispute Management

Afternoon Overview:

The afternoon workshop will more of the noteworthy changes incorporated into the FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Books, 2017. Many of the main conference sessions, will already have covered a lot of the improvements to the 1999 FIDIC contracts that appear in the 2017 FIDIC contract updates. This workshop will round off your knowledge of the improvements by identifying the changes, and giving some of the background as to why changes were made, in relation to the following:

n Notices

n Employer’s Requirements and design review

n Employer’s financial arrangements

n Subcontractors and Nominated Subcontractors

n Defects

n Contractor’s programme and extension of time

n Completion and taking-over

n Suspension and termination

15:45 Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution This session considers the phenomenon of construction disputes; what they are, how they occur

and crucially, how they can be minimized and resolved with the greatest efficiency. Specifically, attention is focused on the FIDIC contractual provisions and their optimum operation. The aim is to equip there presentatives and advisors of the Parties and the Engineer to make good choices in moving towards swift, cost effective resolution. Panellists will examine:

n What constitutes a ‘dispute’? n How do construction disputes occur? n The FIDIC Amicable Settlement provisions n Alternative Dispute Resolution techniques n International Arbitration under FIDIC - looking forward

Patrick McPherson, Partner, Infrastructure, Construction and Energy Disputes Group, CMS Scott Ramsden, Senior Director, FTI CONSULTING

16:45 Working Groups Session – Identifying & Addressing FIDIC Challenges in Asia Led by our expert panel of facilitators, this session allows delegates to come together in

a relaxed roundtable environment to identify and discuss region-specific challenges with reference to the application of particular FIDIC principles and Clauses. This entirely interactive session will allow you to deliberate with your peers on some of the key challenges facing the construction & engineering industry in the Asia-Pacific region and then make recommendations to FIDIC Contracts Committee on potential solutions to overcome those challenges. Some of the topics under discussion will include: DAABs, Time Bars, Issues for Contractors, and much more besides

17:45 Close of Main Conference

Scott Ramsden





This workshop is an opportunity for discussion and involves working through a “mock dispute” that progresses through FIDIC’s dispute escalation provisions. Workshop leaders will guide you through tools for avoiding and resolving disputes. By attending this workshop, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

n Practical issues, options and solutions in avoiding and resolving disputes: when negotiating contracts and during projects

n The pros and cons of each stage of FIDIC’s dispute escalation processes

n Approval / disapproval of claims and determinations

n Dispute Adjudication Boards

n Amicable settlement discussions

n Arbitration, including enforcement of awards

n Calls on on-demand bonds and the constraints in FIDIC’s Conditions of Contract

FIDIC contracts require the parties to add important details, such as the amount of delay damages, but also permit them to agree project-specific changes to the general conditions. This workshop will be an opportunity to consider some of the key issues arising when negotiating and agreeing such matters in the light of the new FIDIC Golden Principles directives, identifying problem areas and pitfalls to look out for. The session will be interactive with practical examples used to facilitate discussion and exchange of experiences. Topics covered will include:

n FIDIC’s new guidelines on modifying conditions of contract

n How do you modify a FIDIC contract? Dos and don’ts

n Does the project location require a modification?

n Choosing the governing law and other key terms

n Dealing with changes to risk allocation and the dispute resolution clauses

n Overview

One of the main challenges for international contractors operating in today’s complex contractual environment is the increasingly prescriptive nature of conditions of contract that Contractors, Sub-Contractors and on-site teams need to observe. The introduction of the FIDIC 2017 Suite renders this even more obvious, with Contractors required to be a lot more ‘Contract-savvy’ than in the context of the FIDIC 1999 Suite. Strict compliance with the terms and conditions of the Contract and related processes and procedures are required in order to avoid the loss of entitlements, to ensure contractual opportunities are secured and that claims are submitted in a timely manner. How will the requirements and obligations of the FIDIC 2017 Suite play out in the real world for Contractors and their teams? This session has been specifically conceptualised for Contractors looking to gain a much-needed edge and in-depth practical knowledge of efficient strategies for on-site contract and team management, as well as what may be useful to take into consideration when operating in an international environment. Guided by a team of experienced international contract managers and FIDIC experts with hands-on practical experience in contract management, Contractors will be given an insight into key areas of effective on-Site contract and claim management.

Morning Coverage Includes:

n Part I – Understanding the Changing Role of the Contractor

n Part II – What does an Effective On-Site Contract Management Strategy Looks like

Afternoon Coverage Includes:

n Part III – Regional Pitfalls to Look-Out for and How to Overcome Common Challenges

n Part IV – Achievables
