National forms in the Nordic market All Nordic countries have their own Conditions of Contract for works and services, e.g: Swedish General Conditions of Contract for Consulting Agreements for Architectural and Engineering Assignments (ABK 09); Danish General Conditions for Consulting Services (ABR 89); Finish General Conditions for Engineering Consulting Services (KSE 1995); Swedish General Conditions of Contract for Building and Civil Engineering Works and Building Service (AB 04); Swedish General Conditions of Contract for Design and Construct Contracts for Building, Civil Engineering and utilities (ABT 06);

The Nordic construction and eng. market Globalization has finally reached the Nordics in full force. Global players use global suppliers. In the home market as well as overseas!

International Federation of Consulting Engineers

The Nordic construction and eng. market From a protected national monopoly to full international competition. Even the public funded Clients are looking around for alternative supplier! Developed national markets for international suppliers have now reached the Engineering Consulting industry.

The Nordic construction and eng. market So, are the competitors (contractors) coming? “North ring road Stockholm” – one main contractor Bilfinger (GER). “Copenhagen Cityring” – main civil contractor Salini Construttori (ITA). Olkiluoto 3 Nuclear power plant”, Helsinki. EPC contractor Areva (FRA) / Siemens (GER).

The Nordic construction and eng. market So, are the competitors (consultants) coming? “Bypass Stockholm” A 22 km long section of the freeway ring- road around Stockholm, with some 18 km in tunnels. Employer, Swedish National Transport Authorities. Total Project budget app 3 BEUR. Main engineering design agreement (25 MEUR) awarded at app. 40 EUR / h to a supplier with bulk engineering provided from Poland.

The Nordic construction and eng. market So, are the competitors coming (consultants)? Copenhagen “Cityringen” A15.5 km long new subway line with 17 new sub-surface stations Client, Metroselskabet I/S through Municipality of Copenhagen, Danish State and the Municipality of Frederiksberg. Main Civil (EPC) Contract won by Italian Contractor Salini Construttori. Salini procured Detailed Design services at app 55 EUR / h from Italian Engineering Consultant Technimont.

The Nordic construction and eng. market Thanks to the global exposure, global Clients also invest in the Nordic countries! Facebook Data Server Centre, Luleå (A), Sweden Facebook´s first Data Server Centre outside the US; Location deciding factors; Access to highly developed internet fiber network; Cold climate in rural area and thus reduced need for, but yet access to, inexpensive cooling capacity without restrictions; Access to renewable energy, wind and hydro-electrical power; Easy to achieve required security level in this remote area; Access to nearby international full-scale cargo airport.

FIDIC forms in the Nordic market What does all this mean in the context of the use of FIDIC Contract and Agreement forms in the Nordic countries 1 (2)? Private funded Nordic Clients: Well familiar and open to using FIDIC forms both in home market and overseas market, if not having established own corporate contract standard, which is a very rare case; Private funded global Clients; Prefer globally recognized forms such as FIDIC. Feel uncomfortable with national forms; Public funded Nordic Clients: Slowly moving towards internationally recognized forms. All Nordic countries has their own National forms. However, no regulatory obstacles to apply FIDIC forms for public works and services; As for Red, Yellow and Silver book, public funded Nordic Clients need to get used to main principles as “The Engineer”, Variation & Claim resolutions and “DAB´s”;

FIDIC forms in the Nordic market What does all this mean in the context of the use of FIDIC Contract and Agreement forms in the Nordic countries 2 (2)? English is the Nordic people´s “first” language which reduces the doubt and hindrance of using FIDIC forms; There is an unfortunate development towards “commoditizing” Procurement Departments. FIDIC Agreement forms not necessary popular as they focus on QBS rather than CBS. However, the trend seems temporary as project tend to fail when being procured on this principle; Public funded Clients move towards EPC or Design-Build delivery methods. With more international Contractors in the market, this will generate an increased use of FIDIC Services Agreements for sub-suppliers.
