FIDIC Contracts in Asia Pacific: A Practical Guide to Application

FIDIC contracts are the most widely used contracts for international construction around the world and are used in many different jurisdictions, both common law and civil law. For any construction project, the General Conditions of Contract published by FIDIC need to be supplemented by Particular Conditions that specify the specific requirements of that project subject to the relevant laws.

FIDIC Contracts in Asia Pacific provides readers with detailed guidance and resources for the preparation of the Particular Conditions that will comply with the requirements of the applicable laws for a number of the jurisdictions in which FIDIC contracts are used. The laws that apply to the governing law of the contract, construction works and dispute resolution in each jurisdiction are identified. This book offers chapters on the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Underground Works, and the perspective of a multilateral development bank (MDB) on the use of FIDIC contracts. Each jurisdiction features an outline of its construction industry and information on the impact of COVID-19 on both the execution of construction projects and the operation of construction contracts.

This book is essential reading for construction professionals, lawyers and students of construction law using FIDIC contracts.
