Practice notesThis Practice Note looks at the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction 1999, commonly known as the FIDIC Red Book 1999.
FIDIC published a new edition of the Red Book in December 2017—see Practice Note: FIDIC contracts—introduction to the FIDIC Red Book 2017 for guidance on the 2017 edition.
In relation to the 1999 suite, see also Practice Notes: FIDIC contracts—introduction to the Yellow Book 1999 and FIDIC contracts—introduction to the Silver Book 1999.
For what type of project is the contract suitable?
The FIDIC Red Book 1999 is recommended for building and engineering works where most (or all) of the works are to be designed by (or on behalf of) the Employer. The FIDIC Red Book 1999 is not suitable for use where the Contractor is carrying out the design—in this case, the FIDIC Yellow or Silver Book should be used instead.
Like all the contracts in the FIDIC suite, the FIDIC Red Book 1999 is designed to be able to be used on international projects.
