FIDIC Contract Amendment — Particular Conditions

When to use this

FIDIC (Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils) contracts are the dominant framework for major construction, infrastructure, and EPC projects in MENA and internationally. The General Conditions (GC) are the standard published terms; the Particular Conditions (PC) are the project-specific variations that employers and contractors negotiate.

Use this skill when:

• A project is being structured on a FIDIC basis and you need to draft the Particular Conditions Schedule.
• An existing FIDIC contract is being amended mid-project (Variation Order / Contract Amendment).
• You are reviewing a Particular Conditions draft and need to identify the deviations from the published standard and their commercial/legal implications.
• A government employer in MENA is procuring under FIDIC and needs to add local-content, language, and Sharia-compliant payment clauses.

Reference the correct edition and book before drafting — the 2017 editions introduced significant changes from 1999 editions, particularly on dispute resolution (DAAB replaces DAB) and time-bar requirements.
