Sajid started on the right track. We use the RED BOOK by FIDIC as the basis for our contracts.
There are two sections; the Gerneral Conditions and the Supplymentary conditions.
We recommend that the General Condition be used as is. The Client will introduce all their requirements in the supplementary conditions. Write up all you want, but remember that everything you write cost money and the contractor will price it. Once you are complete, you will have your "Conditions of Contract" completed. In addition to the Conditions of Contract, you will need:
1. Bill of Quanitites.
2. Specifications.
3. Drawings
4. Table, Plans, program of works, etc.
If you need more specific information, please let us know.
Following is the link for FIDIC Short Form. Check if it suits ur needs. But, please remeber, you can not use the book in the present form. These are just General Conditions. You have to customize some parts of these GC to reflect the specific/particular conditions related to your project.
There is a also guide that FIDIC provide in order to prepare Particular Conditions of the Contract.
I can be CONTRACTOR for my project but I can be CLIENT for my subcontractors. Normally Procurement-Logistics Departments take care of the contracts for subcontractors. And there will be a contract engineer or so for the big tenders.
I want to find useful practice articles, books, link to improve myself. Especially for the low budgeted projects all of this subjects could be pointed to a single technical office (maybe a sigle person).
"What should be the way to negotiate with CLIENT in Contract preparations? ……………."
Wao, who you are representing, client or contractor???
I am confused. as a contractor no one will ever ask you to prepare your own contract. And if if if if someone ever then its like asking you to write his eulogy then contract.
While negotiating any contract you need to minimize your risk by reducing the liabilities & increase opportunities by shifting more liabilities towards the client.
Get more - Pay less should be the motto while negotiating the contract.
May be someone more experienced give you more expert opinion.
