  in a construction contract; the risks to which it is exposed; the management role and the method
  and timing of remuneration
• The role of the Engineer under the FIDIC Forms of Contract and how it compares with the term “Project Manager” that has been borrowed from other forms of contract
• The framework of contractual and legal arrangements on a FIDIC Construction Contract
• The role of insurance and how it fits into the construction contract
• The unique feature of seeking to provide for a specific remedy in the event of any breach of the terms
  of the Contract
