LIVE CONTRACT INTELLIGENCE
FIDIC & NEC Contract Intelligence
Turn FIDIC and NEC contract wording into practical procedures, deadlines and project actions.
Contract Solutions AI supports live contract administration under configured FIDIC and NEC forms by linking General Conditions with Particular Conditions, Contract Data, Z clauses and project-specific amendments. It helps teams navigate clause relationships, notices, roles, decision points, entitlement mechanisms and procedural sequences with direct reference back to the governing contract documents.

PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOWFIDIC & NEC Intelligence
Clause-aware navigation for live contract administration and professional review.
THE CHALLENGE
The real difficulty is not finding a clause — it is understanding the contractual path that follows from it.
FIDIC and NEC contracts operate through linked procedures: notices trigger responses, instructions affect entitlement, time limits influence rights, defined roles determine authority, and amended provisions can materially change the standard mechanism.
Project teams often work across the General Conditions, Particular Conditions, Contract Data, Z clauses, schedules, Employer’s Requirements and other contract documents at the same time. Contract intelligence should therefore explain not only what a clause says, but how the relevant provisions interact, what must happen next and which project records support the position.

Navigate the contract as an operating system for project administration.
Particular Conditions & Z-Clause Overlay
Read the standard-form mechanism together with Particular Conditions, Contract Data, Z clauses and bespoke amendments so the project-specific wording remains the governing reference.
Contractual Procedure Mapping
Convert multi-step procedures into practical sequences showing triggers, notices, response periods, submissions, consultation, assessment, determination and escalation steps.
Notices, Time Bars & Deadlines
Identify notice requirements, contractual periods, response dates and procedural consequences, then connect them with the underlying event and responsible project team.
Roles, Authority & Decision Points
Map contractual roles and powers — including Employer, Engineer, Project Manager, Supervisor, Contractor and other defined actors — to the actions and decisions required by the applicable form.
Entitlement Pathway Analysis
Structure the contractual route for time, money, change, compensation events, claims and other relief by connecting event facts with the relevant clause mechanisms.
Issue-Based Contract Queries
Ask project-specific questions against the configured contract package and receive structured, source-referenced responses designed for professional validation rather than generic contract commentary.
Administration Playbook & Knowledge Layer
Build a reusable project view of recurring procedures, responsibilities, notices and contract-specific departures so different team members administer the same contract consistently.

Practical contract intelligence that can be used during live project administration.
The outputs focus on traceability: the user should be able to see the governing wording, the project-specific amendment and the procedural action that follows.
Clause Position Note
A source-referenced explanation of the clauses relevant to a specific project issue, including linked provisions, amendments and points requiring professional interpretation.
Contract Procedure Map
Step-by-step mapping of a contractual mechanism such as variations, compensation events, claims, payment, testing, suspension, termination or determination.
Notice & Deadline Schedule
Notices, response periods, submissions and contractual time limits organised by procedure, responsible party and project event.
Entitlement Pathway Matrix
Event types mapped to the clauses, notices, evidentiary requirements, decision points and potential forms of contractual relief.
Roles & Authority Matrix
Defined contractual actors, delegated powers, instruction rights, decision responsibilities and procedural interfaces organised in one working view.
Amendment & Departure Map
Project-specific Particular Conditions, Contract Data changes, Z clauses and amendments mapped against the underlying standard-form mechanism.
Issue Response Pack
A structured bundle of relevant clauses, facts, notices, correspondence and open questions to support a project response, meeting or management decision.
Contract Administration Playbook
A project-specific reference for recurring contractual workflows, notices, responsibilities, document requirements and escalation routes.
Contract Solutions AI supports contract administration and source-based professional review. It does not replace legal advice or the judgment of qualified contract, legal, commercial, planning or other specialist professionals. Project-specific amendments always need to be considered against the executed contract.

Designed for the period after contract execution — when the contract has to work in real project conditions.
This solution complements Contract Preparation & Review. The preparation module focuses on drafting, negotiation and pre-execution risk; FIDIC & NEC Contract Intelligence focuses on applying the executed contract throughout project delivery.
Project Mobilisation
Translate the executed contract into procedures, responsibilities, notices and administration controls before recurring issues start.
Live Contract Administration
Answer day-to-day clause and procedure questions against the actual project contract and its amendments.
Change & Claims
Map variations, compensation events, claims and EOT issues to the relevant procedures, notices and entitlement routes.
Assessment & Determination
Support review of submissions, consultation steps, contractual decision-making and the record behind assessments or determinations.
Dispute Avoidance & Escalation
Preserve clause logic, procedure history and source records when an issue moves toward negotiation, dispute board, adjudication or arbitration.
WORKFLOW
From a project question to the applicable contractual procedure and next action.
AI can accelerate navigation and cross-referencing; the professional team remains responsible for validating interpretation, project facts and the contractual action taken.
Configure
Load the executed FIDIC or NEC contract package, including applicable Particular Conditions, Contract Data, Z clauses, schedules and amendments.
Ask & Map
Frame the project issue and identify the relevant clauses, defined terms, linked provisions, roles, procedures and contractual deadlines.
Validate
Review the source wording, project-specific amendments, factual assumptions and any competing interpretation with the appropriate professional team.
Act & Record
Turn the validated position into a notice, response, submission, meeting action, register entry or escalation step while preserving the contractual trail.
