Contract Management Course in Qatar based on FIDIC Conditions

c1
Introduction

An introduction to contract management course provides participants with a fundamental understanding of the key concepts, principles, and processes involved in contract management. This course aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage contracts throughout their lifecycle. The FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (also known as the “Red Book”) is a widely recognized and commonly used standard form contract in the construction industry. It provides a framework for the rights and obligations of the parties involved in a construction project, including the employer (client), the contractor, and the engineer.

 

It’s important to note that the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction can be customized by including Particular Conditions that address project-specific requirements and considerations. The contract is intended to provide a balanced framework for the parties involved in a construction project and is often used as a starting point for negotiations and agreements. It’s recommended that parties seek legal advice and have a thorough understanding of the specific conditions and provisions in their contract before entering into any construction project.
