The Obligations of the Employer under FIDIC Red Book

This course covers Clause 2 of the Red Book, the basic obligations of the Employer. It does not include all of the Employer’s obligations (such as payment which is dealt with in Clause 14).  Understanding the Sub-Clauses of Clause 2 is important when considering what should be included in a tender and how the Employer’s Representative is appointed and works within the Project.

At the end of this course, you should understand:

1. The roles and responsibilities of the Employer
2. How the Employer must assist the Contractor
3. The importance of the Employer providing relevant information
4. The right of the Contractor to request financial information from the Employer
