A one-day course – book your place now!

Date: 22nd October 2015

As contracting enters a new era in Ireland and utilities and energy projects come to the fore, it’s important to be aware of different forms of engineering and construction contracts and how they can relate to your projects.

The NEC and FIDIC are both among the most popular standard forms of engineering and construction contracts used on projects both in the UK and internationally. However, they have fundamentally different approaches to the way projects should be managed and conducted. This course will offer a focus on contracting using the NEC and FIDIC standard forms.

Drawing on her own international projects experience, Fiona Forde B.L. will bring attendees up to speed on how to work with these forms of contract, how to deal with claims arising under the forms and in particular prepare attendees for the transition from traditional dispute resolution under the standard Irish forms to NEC adjudication and the use of FIDIC DABs. A barrister and a mechanical engineer, Fiona will focus on the technical elements of both bringing and dealing with money and time claims under the forms.

All examples, case studies and topics will deal specifically with the FIDIC and NEC forms. Fiona will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the most recent decisions including the latest TCC and ICC decisions addressing the various issues arising from FIDIC and NEC projects so that attendees will have hugely benficial insight of lessons learned to utilise in their own projects.

On leaving this CPD Certified MasterClass, attendees will have gained crucial insights that can potentially save time and money, and will have learned best practice in relation to the NEC and FIDIC forms in a practical and pragmatic way, that can be put into effect immediately. All attendees will also leave with 5 Structured CPD Points, and a full course pack to refer back to at any time.
