Description

The construction sector faces growing pressure to measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions across the full project lifecycle. This workshop provides FIDIC contract users with a practical, hands-on introduction to FIDIC's Carbon Management (CM) Guide and the Carbon Emissions Management (CEM) Guidance for the Red Book and White Book.
 
Participants will learn how to embed carbon management into FIDIC-based projects from tender to completion, understand the contractual mechanisms available to incentivise and enforce emissions performance, and apply the CEM Guidance annexes to real procurement scenarios. No prior knowledge of carbon management is required.
 
The workshop is designed for practitioners who are familiar with FIDIC contracts but may be new to this subject.

Workshop programme*  

•    Introduction to FIDIC's Carbon Management Framework: the CM Guide, CEM Guidance, and how they relate
•    GHG emissions across the project lifecycle: what counts, what doesn't, and who is responsible
•    Key CEM contractual mechanisms: CE Budgets, CE Damages and CE Incentives, and others.
•    Applying the CEM Guidance to the Red Book: worked examples and contract data entries
•    Applying the CEM Guidance to the White Book: professional services and consultant obligations

Description

This will be a hands-on practical workshop, so don’t come thinking that you will just listen and then leave. Each participant to the workshop will be carrying out practical exercises that closely resemble actual FIDIC projects. 

Participants will learn about the Engineer’s role from inception of the project when the Engineer notifies the commencement date to the close-out of the project setting out the detailed process that the Engineer must follow to issue the Taking-Over Certificate.

Particular focus will be given on the Engineer’s certification role as well as its neutral agreement and determination role.  We will be looking at the skills that Engineers must develop in order to effectively carry out their functions under Sub-Clause 3.7 to agree or determine matters in a neutral way.

There will also be a dedicated session on how an Engineer should draft a Sub-Clause 15.1 Notice to Correct and what these notices mean in practice. Should a Sub-Clause 15.1 notice be used as a project management tool or just as a pre-requisite for termination?

The course is ideal not just for consulting Engineers that wish to, or are already carrying out the role of the Engineer, it is also for Contractors and Employers to the construction contract who wish to understand better how to get their Engineer to participate more fully in the project.

The course bridges the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge to ensure the smooth running of construction projects.  

Workshop programme*  

• Who is the Engineer?
• What is the role of the Engineer throughout the project?
• Agreement and determination role (Sub-Clause 3.7)
• Certification role (Sub-Clause 14.6)
• Termination role (Sub-Clause 15.1)
