THE ROLE OF PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT IN FIDIC CONTRACTS TO SECURE PROJECT SUCCESS

Abstract

The formulation of Particular Conditions (PC) in FIDIC contracts plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of construction projects, particularly by adapting international standards to local contexts and project dynamics. This proceeding examines how professionally drafted PCs can prevent disputes, manage risks, and establish clear responsibilities among parties. Research indicates that many conflicts arise from ambiguously worded, disproportionate, or unilaterally prepared PCs. Effective PC development requires collaboration among stakeholders, precise language, and integration of dispute resolution mechanisms such as Dispute Boards or DAAB, which are now mandatory in the latest edition of FIDIC. With its dual function as a risk mitigation tool and operational control mechanism, well-structured PCs have proven to enhance efficiency, reduce legal uncertainty, and maintain sustainable cooperation within projects. Therefore, PCs are not merely administrative appendices but are strategic foundations essential for the overall success of construction projects.
