For those seeking to understand the intricacies of the new FIDIC Red Book, a clause-by-clause commentary can be an invaluable resource. Such a commentary provides a detailed analysis of each clause, highlighting the changes, and explaining the reasoning behind them.

In 2017, FIDIC published a revised version of the Red Book, which introduced significant changes to the previous edition. The new Red Book aims to provide a more comprehensive and user-friendly contract that addresses the needs of modern construction projects.

The FIDIC Red Book, formally known as the "Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction," is a widely used standard form of contract in the construction industry. Published by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), it provides a balanced and fair contract for both employers and contractors.
