EPC turnkey projects

The book "EPC Turnkey Projects" by Saša Skulj does not appear to be a widely recognized or published work in the context of FIDIC's "Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects," which is commonly referred to as the "Silver Book." The information available focuses on the FIDIC Silver Book, not a specific book by Saša Skulj.

However, I can provide an overview of the FIDIC Silver Book, which is a standard form of contract for EPC/Turnkey projects:

Key Themes

1. Single Point of Responsibility: The Silver Book is designed for turnkey projects where the employer seeks a single point of responsibility. This means the contractor is liable for delivering the project at a predetermined price and within a set timeframe.
2. Risk Management: The primary aim of the Silver Book is to provide the employer with cost and time certainty by shifting most of the project risks onto the contractor. This includes unforeseen ground conditions or regulatory changes.
3. Contract Structure: The contract includes General Conditions, Particular Conditions (Part A – Contract Data and Part B – Special Provisions), and is intended to be suitable for various types of EPC contracts, including those within BOT or similar ventures.
4. Dispute Resolution: The Silver Book includes provisions for dispute avoidance and mechanisms to address Employers’ and Contractors’ claims separately from disputes.

Plot Summary

The FIDIC Silver Book does not have a narrative plot but rather serves as a contractual framework for EPC/Turnkey projects. It outlines the conditions under which such projects should be executed, including detailed provisions for quality management, verification of the Contractor’s contractual compliance, and mechanisms for dispute resolution.

Critical Reception

There is no specific critical reception available for the FIDIC Silver Book as it is a standard form of contract rather than a published book. However, it is widely recognized and used in the international construction industry for its clarity and comprehensive coverage of EPC/Turnkey project requirements.

If you are referring to a different book by Saša Skulj, please provide more context or details, as the information available does not mention such a book in relation to EPC turnkey projects.
