The provisions from the 1999 Yellow Book, which set out separate claims provisions for both the employer and the contractor, has been abolished. In the 2017 Yellow Book, there is a single claims procedure which applies to both employer and contractor.
The Green Book can be used both for employer-designed and contractor-designed works, regardless of the extent of the contractor's design responsibilities. It can therefore serve as an alternative for both the more elaborate FIDIC Red Book (for employer-designed works) and Yellow Book (for contractor-designed works).
The FIDIC Yellow is an international set of standard terms and conditions applied to “design & build” contracts. These terms and conditions were prepared by the Fédération Internationale Des Ingénieurs Conseils (“FIDIC”) and are used worldwide for major construction and infrastructure projects.
There are five main types of FIDIC contracts: Red Book (construction), Yellow Book (plant and design-build), Silver Book (EPC/turnkey), Green Book (short form), and Pink Book (consulting services).
