Time Bar struggle for Muse

The stereotype is that Contractors are just claim machines. Time bars play an important role in this. This post and the music of Muse allow us to rethink our ways of working on claims & time bars in a positive atmosphere outside of the day-to-day projects.

Thank you FIDIC for explaining changes introduced with FIDIC Rainbow Suite (ed. 2017)

This article explains the changes from the first (1999) to the second (2017) edition of the Rainbow Suite (Red, Yellow and Silver Books). FIDIC has put good efforts in making their standard contracts more balanced: dispute avoidance, dealing with delicate issues like variations and programme and further introducing project management best practices.

Reliance data in EPC Contracts (like FIDIC Silver Book): how to establish it?

Having some data on which the Contractor may rely (reliance data) is a good industry practice and in line with the usual contract standards.

This article proposes a “black box” approach.

Can you still use FIDIC 1987 in 2022?

More than 30 years have past since the launch of FIDIC 1987, “yellow book”.
In the meanwhile, FIDIC has published newer versions: the well-known 1999 version and a fresh update at the end of 2017.
This article is a reflection on whether it still makes sense to use the 1987 versions.
