The FIDIC Client/Consultant Model Services Agreement (5th Edition, 2017), universally recognized as the White Book, is the international gold standard for professional consulting services in the engineering and construction sectors. Unlike construction contracts (like the Red or Yellow books), this agreement focuses on the intellectual output and relationship between a Client and their Consultant. Core Purpose and Versatility
For a major infrastructure owner, the 2017 version reduces legal ambiguity by roughly 30%, according to a study by the University of Melbourne's Construction Law group.
If you are familiar with the 2005/2006 versions, you must note these critical updates:
: If a Client fails to pay, the Consultant can revoke the license to use their designs—a powerful incentive for timely payment. Accuracy of Information
The 2017 edition requires formal notices to be delivered via specific methods. Define clearly whether email counts as formal notice, as disputes often hinge on whether a warning was “officially” delivered.
Title: Where Vision Meets Certainty
Subtitle: FIDIC-based consultancy for world‑class lifestyle destinations.
Particular Conditions: Divided into Part A (specific references like project duration) and Part B (customized or amended clauses). Appendices: Essential project-specific details including: Appendix 1: Detailed Scope of Services.
