making a difference for members and the industry

Issue No.1, March 2024

Welcome message from the President & CEO

As FIDIC’s president and chief executive officer, Catherine and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members for their continued support over FIDIC’s 110 years of development. As the global representative body for the consultancy and engineering sector, our member associations and their member firms are at the forefront of driving change and delivering projects that improve the lives of millions people on a global scale.

As a member of FIDIC, whether a national member association, associate member or affiliate member, you are part of a global community that delivers real change. Part of being in this community gives you the opportunity to share best practice, guidance, network and to learn lessons from fellow members to improve the standing of our sector nationally, regionally and globally.

If you are already a valued member of FIDIC, this important publication is a key reminder of the various products, services and activities you can engage in, both existing and those developed more recently. It also provides insight into how FIDIC and your membership is evolving and how, not only you as a member, but also your prospective member firms can benefit from being part of this powerful global network.

If you are a potential prospective member association and would like to join FIDIC’s growing community, we would encourage you to reach out to our membership team who can support your application and development to become part of the FIDIC family.

We look forward to your participation and continued support over the coming year and we hope to see you at the FIDIC Global Infrastructure Conference in Geneva in September.

FIDIC – helping to create a better world for everyone

Since 1913, the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils or more commonly, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) and its members have played a crucial role in supporting, guiding and helping to advance the engineering, construction and infrastructure sector and drive change to improve the sustainability, wellbeing and economic prospects of society. FIDIC facilitates the sharing of knowledge, ideas and innovation to tackle the global challenges we face.

As a result, FIDIC’s reach goes beyond that of just the countries where its member associations (MAs) are located, establishing it as the global voice of the consulting engineering industry around the world.

FIDIC’s global reach

When organisations join FIDIC they become part of a global network of member associations, consulting and engineering practices and other industry stakeholders that engage and work together to bring about real change. FIDIC’s suite of international standard forms of contracts provides its members with several benefits including, discounts, licencing, influence in procurement and offer a professional framework for all levels of the sector from consultants, sub-consultants, clients, contractors, lawyers, financiers, MDBs, joint ventures and other stakeholders.

FIDIC’s international partnerships ensure the implementation of engineering-designed global standards to support the financing and delivery of infrastructure projects worldwide. Consequently, FIDIC and its members are widely acknowledged as trusted advisers to decision-makers involved in planning and constructing global sustainable infrastructure for future generations.

FIDIC serves as a distinctive platform with broad global influence, offering valuable support to its member associations through networking, events, training, credentialing, thought leadership, advocacy, contract expertise, guides, webinars, technology and numerous other resources.

• FIDIC member organisation countries’ economies generate approximately $90 trillion of global GDP and employ over one million engineers.

• FIDIC member associations operate in over 90 countries with a combined population of over 6.5 billion people.

• Member firms of FIDIC’s global member associations are made up of more than 40,000 consulting and engineering companies.

A rewarding membership

FIDIC is a more than 110 year old organisation whereas Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA) is nearing its 72nd year in existence. When the founding members of CESA made a decision to join FIDIC they most likely back then had a vision for South Africa’s consulting engineering industry to keep pace with the global trends in the sector, The ongoing active participation by CESA in the various activities of FIDIC over many years has made it possible for our present day organisation to indeed live up to the foresight of its founding members.

Types of Membership

FIDIC National Member Association

A Member Association is a national association which is the largest association of firms providing technology-based intellectual consulting services for the built and natural environment in a country.

FIDIC Associate Member

An Associate Member is any individual organisation, association, firm or group of firms which is based in a country not having a Member Association and which has a major part of its activity in the engineering consulting industry.

FIDIC Affiliate Member

An Affiliate Member is any individual, association, organisation, firm or group of firms which is based in a country having or not having a Member Association and which supports the objectives of the federation.

FIDIC National Member Association

A Member Association is a national association which is the largest association of firms providing technology-based intellectual consulting services for the built and natural environment in a country.

Process to become a FIDIC National Member Association

1. A letter from the association’s president requesting membership of FIDIC.

2. A copy of the organisation’s statutes, by-laws and regulations.

3. A copy of the organisation’s list of members.

4. A letter from a government ministry or official of the country in which the organisation is based confirming that the organisation is the largest registered association of firms providing technology-based intellectual consulting services for the built and natural environment in the country.

Membership fees

The current FIDIC membership model accounts for several factors in determining the rate paid by member associations in an attempt to balance MA performance (number of individuals they represent), the relative size of the market in which they operate and the degree of development status versus the countries’ peers.

FIDIC determines the calculation of subscriptions for member associations based on the number of staff employed by the association and its member firms or groups of firms. The currency used for the calculations is Swiss Franc.

Since 2017, FIDIC has frozen the unit rate and it remains at 2.65 Swiss Franc/staff member. The minimum membership fee is 1,900 Swiss Francs per year.

In October each year, FIDIC requests all its MAs to provide Reported Staff Numbers (RSN). The RSN is the total number of staff (technical and non-technical) in the companies that are members of the MA. A date in November of that year is provided as the deadline for receipt of the RSNs. If no RSN is received from the MA, the previous reported figure is applied and in some years a factor of up to 10% is added.

Then, the following calculations take place in the process.

1. Calculate 2/3 of fee from Reported Staff Numbers (RSN).

2. Calculate 1/3 of fee proportional to GDP.

The next stage of the calculation is in place to ensure fairness for various circumstances. Items that are considered include assisting MAs into membership, a factor for new members and a factor to limit rises.

3. Apply developing member Eased Entry Factor (EEF).

4. Limit maximum fee for any member to 1/5 of calculated increase, or 10% of previous fee.

Potential support available to help new and prospective MAs (EEF)

To encourage applications from new member countries, the membership formulation also allows FIDIC to exercise some flexibility on a case-by-case basis for very small, emerging MAs. This flexibility and reduction of the minimum membership fee for four years would be as follows - starting with 25% in year 1, 50% in year 2, 75% in year 3 and 100% in year 4.

Evaluation of applications for FIDIC membership

Applications are assessed by the FIDIC Secretariat and forwarded to the FIDIC Membership Committee for review and recommendation to the FIDIC board. The FIDIC board submits compliant applications to the annual General Assembly Meeting for final approval to be completed through a voting process participated by FIDIC members.

FIDIC Associate Members

An Associate Member is any individual organisation, association, firm or group of firms which is based in a country not having a Member Association and which has a major part of its activity in the engineering consulting industry. Associate members shall request the renewal of their membership every five years.

Process to become a FIDIC Associate Member

1. A letter requesting Associate Membership of FIDIC outlining the expectations for collaboration with FIDIC e.g. promoting and selling FIDIC documents, support for FIDIC training; promoting the consulting engineering industry, details of any planned activities (conferences, seminars, etc.).

2. Letters of recommendation from references that are mentioned on the application form.

Details of the firms in the group (address of head office, principals, ownership, date of registration, activities).

A letter addressed to the FIDIC board which indicates that the applying association/ organisation and its group of firms shall do its utmost to promote the establishment of an association of consulting engineers which would be eligible for membership of FIDIC in due course, and that the association and its member firms shall observe the requirements of the FIDIC Statutes and By-Laws.

3. A statement of intention to form a member association, or of an intention to form or join at some stage an ‘umbrella’ FIDIC national member association, giving the name/s of the association/s concerned, or a statement explaining why a member association cannot be formed at this stage.

Membership fees

The FIDIC Associate Membership fee is currently 1,900 Swiss Francs per year.

Evaluation of applications for FIDIC membership

Applications are assessed by the FIDIC Secretariat and forwarded to the FIDIC Membership Committee for review and recommendation to the FIDIC board. The FIDIC board submits compliant applications to the annual General Assembly Meeting for final approval to be completed through a voting process participated by FIDIC members.

FIDIC Affiliate Members

An Affiliate Member is any individual, association, organisation, firm or group of firms which is based in a country having or not having a Member Association and which supports the objectives of the federation.

This membership category is primarily targeted at commercial organisations which aim to maintain close contacts with FIDIC and support the organisation’s activities at local and international levels.

FIDIC Affiliate Membership provides firms and professionals with a competitive edge by being part of an international organisation that values quality, integrity and sustainability as a key part of its aims to enable the development of a sustainable world.

Unlike the two other membership categories, FIDIC Affiliate Members can represent or be active in sectors such as legal, financial, accounting, insurance, patent, software services or any other sectors which are related to consulting engineers.

Process to become a FIDIC Affiliate Member

1. Individuals, associations, organisations, firms or groups of firms wishing to apply for Affiliate Membership and that are based in a country where FIDIC has a Member Association (MA), or Associate should submit a letter of approval from the FIDIC MA. This letter must be signed by the president or director of the association endorsing the applicant and sent to the FIDIC secretariat.

Article 4.7 of the FIDIC statutes and by-laws states that:

“Applications for Affiliate Membership from candidates based in countries where there is a FIDIC Member Association must demonstrate one of the following - That the candidate is a full member or affiliate member of that National Member Association; or that the candidate has obtained the approval of the National Member Association when not a member of that National Association. Applications for Affiliate Membership from candidates based in countries where there is no FIDIC Member Association and applications for international organisations may be submitted to FIDIC for consideration. Applications for Affiliate Membership shall be decided upon by the FIDIC Board.”

2. Applicants should provide a letter stating the motivation for the application, the main area of activity/activities of the applicant, in particular, activities in fields related to consulting engineering and allied professions and the relationship of the organisation to the consulting engineering industry and to the FIDIC member association in the country of origin.

3. Two letters of recommendation from any association, clients, partners or similar organisations working in the consulting engineering industry should be provided by applicants. These letters should normally be from the two references mentioned on the registration form.

FIDIC provides several levels of affiliate membership. This is done to allow the widest range of companies and individuals to engage with its global community.
