INTRODUCTION
Contract management is about effective administration and managing the project during its entire cycle. It also carries an oversight role which relates to the execution, monitoring and management of a project. This requires supervisory, monetary and quality control expertise. It also carries elements of business management and project adaption. FIDIC’s construction contracts covers the various roles in a construction project. This includes the Employer, Consultant and Contractor. The projects which use FIDIC Contracts are intended to be quality-driven, sustainable and able to stand the test of time. Understanding FIDIC forms of contract is therefore essential for managing construction and engineering projects which are based on them.
