Mastering Payment Processes in FIDIC Contracts (Red Book)

About this course

Welcome to Mastering Payment Processes in FIDIC Contracts.

This course is designed to help construction professionals understand and manage payment procedures under FIDIC contracts in a practical, structured, and professional way.

Whether you are a project manager, contract manager, quantity surveyor, cost engineer, commercial engineer, technical office engineer, or a junior professional starting your career in construction contracts, this course will help you build a clear understanding of how payment processes work in FIDIC-based projects.

Throughout the course, we will explore the key payment-related mechanisms under FIDIC contracts, including Advance Payment, Interim Payment Certificates, Retention Money, Statement at Completion, Final Statement, Final Payment Certificate, Discharge, Delayed Payment, Measurement and Evaluation, and Contract Price Adjustment.

You will learn how payment procedures are linked to project cash flow, contract administration, measurement, valuation, and financial close-out. You will also understand the roles of the Employer, Contractor, and Engineer in managing payment applications and payment certificates.

What makes this course practical is its focus on real construction project scenarios. Instead of presenting theory only, the course explains how payment-related concepts are applied in actual project situations, including quantity changes, cost changes, delayed payments, recovery of Advance Payment, release of Retention Money, and adjustment of the Contract Price.

By the end of this course, you will have a stronger understanding of the financial and contractual aspects of payment administration under FIDIC contracts. You will be better prepared to review payment procedures, understand payment certificates, manage valuation issues, and recognize the commercial impact of payment-related clauses.

The course also includes professional subtitles in multiple languages to support a wider international learning audience.
