Philip Fidler FRICS, FCIArb, C.Arb
Chartered Quantity Surveyor, Chartered Arbitrator, and Accredited Adjudicator
Philip’s experience covers most types of building project but also projects involving motorways, sewage works, sewerage schemes, piling, diaphragm walling, retaining walls, and other civil engineering procedures. The range of contractual procedures with which he is familiar include: lump sum with or without contractor design, management contracting, construction management, term contract arrangements, subcontracts of all kinds, and ad hoc or custom drafted terms and conditions.
He was director for seven years of a specialist group who dispensed specialist advice within an international project management and construction consultancy, before being head-hunted to become the London based Director of an international company of claims representatives.
He has practised as an Arbitrator since 1988 of which the vast majority involved construction matters and has been a Construction Adjudicator since his first in 1999. Between 1990 and the early 2000s he was appointed as quantum expert before the courts on numerous occasions including the £100 million plus dispute in respect of the construction of the Galleries Shopping Complex in Bristol. At the time this was probably the largest construction litigation to face the Technology and Construction Court. He has given testimony in court on many occasions including one where Donald Keating QC and John Dyson QC (as he then was) were opposing leading counsel.
