The Role of FIDIC in Enhancing Project Performance and Minimizing Disputes in EPC Contracts: An Analysis of Dispute Resolution via Settlement Deeds

Abstrak

In the development process, the construction sector is inherently complex, involving various parties such as the project owner, contractor, subcontractor, building material suppliers, and consultants. Consequently, disputes frequently arise in construction projects. These disputes may stem from differences in interpretation, disagreements in project execution, or issues related to contractual terms. This paper discusses the most suitable contractual method for power plant projects that refer to FIDIC standards and presents a case study of contractual issues in an EPC Power Plant contract. It also outlines a resolution method in accordance with Indonesian legal practice through a settlement deed known as deed van dading, as an effort to resolve contractual disputes before proceeding to adjudicative stages such as arbitration or litigation.
