FIDIC Quick Reference Guide: Red Book

The FIDIC Handbook Series will form a series of low cost guides to all FIDIC Contract administrators.

They will ensure that appropriate timely actions are taken during the course of a construction contract in order to improve communication, stimulate better administration and highlight accountability at an early stage, thereby improving the working relationships between the parties and reducing the potential for disputes.

The guidelines suggest actions for each party to take, stipulate the time to take such action, provide relevant comments and includes model letters where appropriate for each Sub-Clause within the Contract. This book, FIDIC Handbook - Red, provides commentary on the Red Book: FIDIC Conditions of Contracts for Construction for building and engineering works designed by the Employer.
