FIDIC is an international organization recognized for issuing standardized engineering and construction contract models used across global infrastructure projects. The Red Book is one of FIDIC’s earliest and most widely adopted models, specifically designed for projects where the employer provides the design and the contractor is responsible for execution. This training program focuses on the legal and contractual interpretation of the Red Book, covering its structural clauses, supervisory mechanisms, and formal procedures for dispute resolution. It presents regulatory frameworks, institutional structures, and administrative models aligned with FIDIC's terms.
