FIDIC contracts are the most widely used contracts for international construction around the world and are used in many different jurisdictions, both common law and civil law. For any construction project, the General Conditions of Contract published by FIDIC may need to be supplemented by Particular Conditions that specify the specific requirements of that project and jurisdiction.

FIDIC Contracts in Asia Pacific (2022), FIDIC Contracts in Europe (2023), FIDIC Contracts in the Americas (2024) and FIDIC Contracts in Africa and the Middle East (2024) provide readers with an overview of the legal environment, the construction industry and features of contract law applying to construction contracts in 51 jurisdictions.  The jurisdiction chapters were written by over 100 professionals with specialist expertise in construction law in their jurisdiction.The books provide detailed guidance for the preparation of the Particular Conditions for FIDIC contracts that will comply with the requirements of the applicable laws that apply to the site where the work is carried out, and for the governing law of the contract. The books also detail the impact of COVID-19 on both the execution of construction projects and the operation of construction contracts in each jurisdiction.

These book are essential reading for construction professionals, lawyers and students of construction law who are involved with FIDIC contracts, and are available in hardback and ebook formats. They can be ordered from the Routledge website: https://www.routledge.com/search?kw=charrett
