Practical takeaway
- [ ] Date of publication: Is it post-2022? Does it reference the “FIDIC 2017/2022 Reprint”?
- [ ] Jurisdictional commentary: Does it cover common law (England & Wales, Singapore) vs. civil law (France, UAE) distinctions? FIDIC works differently under different legal systems.
- [ ] Sub-Clause 21.6 analysis: Does it explain how the new “Dispute Avoidance” function works in practice? (Most cheap guides skip this entirely).
- [ ] Comparison tables: Does it explicitly show where the 1999 and 2017 clauses differ? If not, it’s not “practical.”
- [ ] Appendix of forms: Are the sample forms filled out with example data (e.g., a hypothetical road project in Kenya), or are they blank? Filled examples are worth 10x more.
