The FIDIC forms of contract are one of the most commonly used standard conditions of contract in international projects. The FIDIC is based on legal concepts rooted in the Common Law system. However, there is an increase use of the FIDIC in Civil Law jurisdictions. Thus, employers, contractors, international financing organizations, engineers, lawyers and stakeholders of projects, using FIDIC in Civil Law jurisdictions, need to understand the interpretation of the FIDIC provisions against a Civil Law background. In this research, the application of time and additional payment provisions of the FIDIC (CONS) will be studied in the context of the Civil Law, with special application on the Egyptian Civil Law. Similarities and differences between the relevant provisions of time and additional payment under the FIDIC (CONS) and the Egyptian Civil Law will be recognised. Recommendations will be yielded as to amendments to be made either to the Egyptian Civil Code or to the FIDIC (CONS), as the case may be, in relation to the provisions at issue. It is envisaged that this research would help employers, engineers and contractors, entering into projects based on the FIDIC (CONS) and with the Egyptian Civil Law as the applicable law, properly manage time provisions, delays and risks leading to additional payment in the construction contracts. This should help minimize, as much as possible, disputes associated with and/or resulting from the delays and claims for extension of time and/or additional payment. Since most of the legal systems of the Middle East are founded upon Civil Law principles, and are most heavily influenced by the Egyptian Civil Law, it is envisaged that this research would support effective and efficient contract administration of construction projects among the region.
