Frequently Asked Questions

Key aspects of working with FIDIC and EPC contracts and resolving infrastructure disputes.

FIDIC is the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, which developed standard contract forms. Their application ensures legal reliability, objective risk distribution, and absolute transparency for clients, contractors, and IFIs (ADB, EBRD, World Bank).

Red Book — design is carried out by the employer. Yellow Book — the contractor designs and builds. Silver Book (EPC/Turnkey) — a turnkey contract where the contractor takes all risks and guarantees the final result at a fixed cost.

It is a detailed retrospective investigation into the causes of project delays. Using strict international methods (SCL Protocol), our expert establishes who is responsible for the delay, legally justifying your right to an Extension of Time (EOT) and financial compensation.

DAAB is an effective mechanism for resolving disagreements pre-trial, directly during construction. Independent experts make binding decisions "on-site", saving millions of dollars and years of time in international arbitration proceedings.

EPC is a "turnkey" contract (Engineering, Procurement, Construction). All risks and responsibilities for engineering, equipment procurement, and construction lie exclusively with the general contractor. It is the ideal standard for large infrastructure and energy projects.
