Disruptions on FIDIC Based Works Contracts

Each contract has its own unique Particular Conditions of Contract drafted to include the Risk Distribution Intended by the Drafter of the Contract Documents. This program will consider the way to modify obligations of parties under the contract and the ways not to do it. Unless the contract is drafted unambiguously each party to the Contract will view the interpretation in a way favorable to its own position, when, parties disagree, solutions are delayed, cost of solution increases, progress is disrupted, and everyone suffers. To prevent these problems we emphasize Win-Win solutions to the above situations.
