This one-day course is suitable for people of all grades and professions who do not have a working knowledge of the IChemE Books and who want to find out about the intention and philosophy of each Book and how they inter-relate.
Aims & Objectives:
The course will enable people attending to adopt the correct Book for various procurement routes and contracting strategies.
Course Outline:
The course will cover a general understanding of:
- The formation and composition of contracts entered into
- The roles and responsibilities of all parties to, and named in, the Books
- Commencement, progress, delays, suspension and termination
- Payment regimes
- Testing requirements
- Variations, claims and dispute resolution options
- Insurances, bonds and guarantees
Mode of Delivery:
The mode of delivery is interactive and everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions.
The course will use the Red Book – for lump sum contracts - as the ‘base’ Book. References will be made to the other contracts, all of them the fourth edition, 2013:
- Reimbursable – the Green Book
- Target Cost – the Burgundy Book
- Minor Works – the Orange Book
- Subcontracts – the Yellow Book
- Subcontract for Civil Engineering Works – the Brown Book
A brief reference will be made to the international contracts
Pre-Course Requirements:
Participants would be at a disadvantage without a copy of the Red Book with them, as it is a useful template for referring to differences from the other Books. It will also be the basis for some discussions.
