Ben Mellors is widely recognised as a leading expert on the FIDIC suite of contracts. Co‑author of FIDIC Contracts: Law and Practice and an early commentator on the 2017 forms, Ben combines academic insight and technical knowledge with extensive international practice.
This webinar marks a return to FIDIC 2017 to examine how the contracts are operating in practice as international standard forms. It will explore issues including:
- From 1999 to 2017: Has FIDIC’s achieved its fundamental principles of balanced risk sharing?
- The Engineer and the role of people: how neutrality, judgement and day‑to‑day behaviours shape project outcomes under FIDIC 2017.
- Variations, valuation, time, programme and delay: A new equilibrium or greater exposure?
- DAABs in practice under FIDIC 2017: use, misuse and the DAAB agreement.
The session will offer an objective and practical assessment of what really matters almost ten years on: where the forms work well, where tensions arise and how parties can engage with them more effectively. The focus will be on substance rather than procedure, assisting those who use FIDIC contracts to make informed and commercially grounded decisions in practice.
