Strategic Applications
Owner-Designed Projects
Red Book is ideal for projects where the owner provides complete design, and the contractor focuses solely on construction.
Design & Build / EPC
Yellow and Silver Books are suitable when contractors handle design, procurement, and construction, transferring more risk to the contractor.
Project Suitability Analysis
FIDIC contracts are suitable for projects requiring **international standards, clear risk allocation, and structured dispute resolution**, ensuring predictability and enforceability across jurisdictions.
Risk Considerations & Mitigation
Risks depend on the chosen FIDIC book: Red Book transfers design responsibility to the owner, while Silver Book places significant risk on the contractor. **Proper contract selection and legal expertise** are critical to manage cost, schedule, and performance risks.
