CIF BREAKFAST BRIEFING – INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTS EXPLAINED
As the review of the public works contracts or Government Construction Contracts continues, there has been a lot of discussion about whether some of the international forms of contract should be adopted in this country. The most regularly cited examples are the likes of the FIDIC, NEC and JCT contracts. While many will have heard of these terms, a lot of Irish construction companies will not have experienced the practical aspects of these contracts first hand.
This briefing has been arranged to help provide further details about these contracts. James Golden of Quigg Golden, who is an expert on FIDIC/ NEC/ JCT, will discuss how these contracts operate from a construction perspective, what they mean for the various parties involved and what impact Irish construction companies could expect if they were implemented in the Republic.
The briefing will take place on Wednesday 10th December in CIF, Construction House, Canal Road, Dublin 6.

About FIDIC/ JCT/ NEC
FIDIC
Founded in 1913, FIDIC is charged with promoting and implementing the consulting engineering industry’s strategic goals on behalf of its Member Associations and to disseminate information and resources of interest to its members. Today, FIDIC membership covers 97 countries of the world.
JCT
JCT Contracts are a range of construction contracts, guidance notes and other standard documentation that cover the spectrum of construction projects.
NEC
The first NEC contract – then known as the ‘New Engineering Contract’ – was published in 1993. It was a radical departure from existing building and engineering contracts, being written in plain language and designed to stimulate rather than frustrate good management.
