1. Variation Orders & Extension of Time (EOT) Claims under FIDIC

Major construction projects and tourism resorts in the Red Sea and New Cities in Egypt, alongside infrastructure developments in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, frequently encounter complex disputes over Final Payment Certificates and Variation Orders. Winning these claims demands correlating FIDIC Red/Yellow Book clauses with site instructions and progress minutes.

Our firm specializes in deconstructing engineering expert reports by proving Concurrent Delay caused by the employer’s late approval of shop drawings or delayed interim payments, legally invalidating liquidated damages deductions and halting wrongful calls on performance bonds.
