FIDIC Contract Management, for the people who actually run the schedule.
Not a legal seminar. A practical course that connects the FIDIC Red, Yellow, Silver and Green Books directly to your Primavera P6 baseline, EOT claims, Time Impact Analysis and delay narratives — the way a real project controls team uses them on site.
It's a project controls course, not a legal seminar.
Most FIDIC training treats the contract like a law-school subject — reading clauses aloud, quoting sub-clauses in isolation, showing you no schedules and no field data. That leaves planners, quantity surveyors and project controls engineers unable to actually use the contract when a delay hits. This programme is the opposite. Every clause we teach lands in a Primavera P6 workflow: what to record, when to notify, how the baseline supports the claim, and what the Engineer will actually accept as evidence. FIDIC + Primavera P6 + Delay Analysis + Claims — taught together, because on site they are the same job.
Built for the people who run the delivery.
If your day involves Primavera schedules, variation orders, monthly progress claims or delay narratives — this is your course. Legal counsel is welcome, but the room is engineers.
What you'll be able to do on Monday.
Every outcome is task-based and tied to something a project controls professional actually has to produce on a live contract.
Identify the right FIDIC Book
Instantly tell whether Red, Yellow, Silver or Green applies to a given project — and why it matters for how risk, cost and time behave.
Serve compliant contractual notices
Draft time-bar-safe notices under Sub-Clause 20.1 (2017: 20.2) — and know which internal records must exist before you send them.
Build EOT-ready baseline schedules in P6
Structure activity IDs, calendars, WBS and constraints so your Primavera P6 baseline can actually defend an Extension of Time later.
Run a defensible Time Impact Analysis
Model delay events as fragnets inside P6, insert them at the right update, and produce TIA outputs the Engineer can validate.
Evaluate variation orders
Price and schedule Variation Orders under FIDIC rules for measurement, dayworks, unit rates and time consequences.
Address concurrent delay and disruption
Separate excusable, compensable and non-excusable delays; document disruption impact without conflating it with pure delay.
Package a claim submission
Assemble the narrative, cause-effect chain, P6 evidence pack and quantum — in the sequence Engineers and DABs expect.
Support your PM in negotiations
Translate contract clauses into the numbers, dates and dependencies leadership needs when the discussion turns commercial.

Taught by someone who has actually defended claims.
Not a rotating panel of freelancers. A single practitioner leading every session.
Practitioner first, trainer second.
Gyanendra Singh has spent the last two and a half decades leading planning and project controls on EPC projects across Oil & Gas, Power and Infrastructure — the exact environment where FIDIC contracts live. He has served EOT notices, built the Primavera evidence packs that supported them, and stood behind those numbers in Engineer determinations and negotiations.
He is one of a very small number of PgMP-certified professionals in India, and holds PMP® alongside two and a half decades of hands-on delivery. Every cohort of this course is led by him personally — not outsourced to a rotating faculty.
