FAQ

Questions, answered

Are these FIDIC notice templates really free?

Yes — every template on this page downloads directly as a Word document, with no email address, sign-up, or payment required. Each template matches a notice type that ChatNotice can also draft for you automatically.

How do I use the templates?

Open the .docx file in Word or Google Docs, replace everything in square brackets with your project's facts, delete the brackets, and serve the notice by the method your contract's notices clause specifies. Mind the deadline — most FIDIC claim notices are due within 28 days of awareness.

What is the difference between a template and the ChatNotice generator?

A template is a blank skeleton you fill in yourself. ChatNotice drafts the finished notice for you — you describe the event in plain English, it asks a couple of questions, identifies the correct FIDIC clauses, and produces a formally worded notice ready to review and send.

Rather not fill in brackets? Let ChatNotice draft it.
