About the Committee

The ICP Committee is for lawyers interested in construction law and in exchanging experiences from construction projects around the world. All aspects and types of construction and engineering projects are dealt with, from traditional building and civil engineering contracts to state-of-the art project finance infrastructure projects. The Committee has something to offer both those active on their domestic market as well as those involved in overseas projects.

Together, our members constitute a vast source of experience in contentious and non-contentious construction contract issues from all parts of the world. The Committee meets annually at the main IBA Annual Conference and every other year at a special International Construction Projects Committee Retreat that offers an opportunity to get to know other members better and to plan for future activities.

Subcommittees and other groups

The International Construction Projects Committee also coordinates the activities of the following subcommittees/working groups.

  • Dispute Resolution Subcommittee

    The Dispute Resolution Subcommittee focuses on the mechanisms to prevent and resolve disputes arising in connection with international construction projects. Specifically, the group draws from the experience of their distinguished members from many jurisdictions around the world to learn what is working and what is not in preventing and solving disputes.

  • Innovations Subcommittee
  • Project Establishment Subcommittee

    The Project Establishment Subcommittee focuses on the period prior to contract closing. The Subcommittee reviews the contract forms used by engineers, architects, owners and contractors within different jurisdictions, focusing mainly on the various FIDIC forms as being an international standard form. Different contractual concepts/schemes, such as PPP, also fall within their scope of work, as do the regulatory aspects of construction (building regulations, etc), public procurement rules and issues of bribery as they relate to construction contracting.

  • Project Execution Subcommittee

    The Project Execution Subcommittee focuses on the performance, administration, payment, scheduling (programming), and completion of a construction project, in particular as impacted by variations (changes), delays, disruption, suspension, force majeure, acceleration, laws, regulations, exchange rates, and sovereign acts.
