Introduction
As the global representative body for national associations of consulting engineers, FIDIC represents over one million engineering professionals and 40,000 firms in more than 100 countries worldwide. The buildings and infrastructure sector in which FIDIC members work contributes around $36 trillion to global GDP, therefore FIDIC has significant reach into a highly influential global industry sector. FIDIC is renowned for its international standard forms of contract for use on national and international construction projects. FIDIC publishes standard forms of contracts for works and agreements for clients, consultants, sub-consultants, joint ventures, and representatives. FIDIC also publishes various business practice documents such as policy papers, guidelines and training manuals. These documents cover a range of issues including risk management, project sustainability management, environment, integrity management, dispute resolution techniques and insurance and a number of guides for quality-based selection, procurement and tendering procedures. FIDIC is highly regarded by its stakeholders, many of whom play a key role in the organisation’s activities, attend and speak at its many events and conferences, buy FIDIC contracts and other publications, take part in training and development courses or use some of the many guidance documents and other industry publications published by FIDIC.
