ments, position papers, guidelines, training manuals of management

systems (quality management, risk management, business integrity

management, environment management and sustainability), and infor-

mation regarding business steps, such as consultant selection, quality

based selection, tender processes, supply, insurance, liability, technol-

ogy transfer, and capacity development for its members

. The main

purposes of the publication of these documents are to standardize the

terminology, to make the documents more user-friendly and uniform,

and to organize the relationship between the parties (the Employer –

Contractor – Representative/Consultant/Engineers) of sector-related

operations.

The most popular and frequently used documents among the

FIDIC publications are the model contracts. Within this context,

Conditions of Contract of Works of Civil Engineering Construction

(the Red Book), Conditions of Contract for Plant & Design-Build

Works for Electrical and Mechanical Works (the Yellow Book),

Conditions of Contract for Design-Build and Turnkey Works (the

Orange Book), Guide to the Joint Venture and Sub-Consultancy

Agreements (the Blue Book), Client/Consultant Model Services

Agreement (the White Book) and Conditions of Contracts for EPC

Turnkey Projects (the Silver Book), are exemplified as some of the

model contract publications of the FIDIC.

In order to meet the sectoral needs, the FIDIC revises the model

contracts, and collects and creates new model contracts. In this context,

“the Pink Book,” which was published in 2010, is mainly preferred by

the banks, and places particular focus on project finance necessities.

Again, by virtue of similar reasons, the Form of Contract for Dredging

and Reclamation Works, in other words, “the Turquoise Book,”

Conditions of Contract for Design, Build and Operate Projects, i.e.

“the Gold Book,” and Conditions of Subcontracts for Construction,

were published respectively in 2006, 2008, and 2011.

Summary information regarding the most popular of these afore-

mentioned books is as follows:
