Comprehensive Training on the Essential FIDIC Books

 

Red Book – FIDIC Construction

In our FIDIC training, we mainly study the FIDIC Red Book. This book deals with the Conditions of Construction and is based on the 1999 and 2017 editions. It is used when the employer carries out the design. Ideal for public or traditional construction projects.

 

Yellow Book – FIDIC Design-Build

In this FIDIC training course, we also cover the FIDIC Yellow Book. This book applies to design-build or EPC contracts. In these contracts, the contractor must handle the design, execution, and performance.
