Subcontracts • FIDIC Claims • Delay Analysis • Programmes
Hello — I'm Selçuk Zeybek.
A contracts and planning professional on major railway and infrastructure projects. I draft and negotiate the subcontracts that put the work under contract — recently over USD 645M of them — keep the programmes that show where the job really stands and, when projects run late, build the FIDIC claims that prove who owes what.
What I Work On
Areas of Expertise
FIDIC Claims
Notices, records and fully detailed claims under FIDIC — carried through the Engineer's consultation to determination and the DAB.
MoreDelay Analysis & EOT
Critical-path delay analysis in Primavera P6 to the SCL Protocol — the method chosen to fit the records.
MoreProgrammes
Baselines, monthly updates and recovery programmes that stay a calculation, not a promise.
MoreSubcontract Drafting & Negotiation
Back-to-back railway subcontracts — lump-sum and WBS-priced — that hold a main-contract position all the way down the chain.

Field notes, not textbook theory
Real claims, drawn step by step.
Every note here began as a live claim on a real railway project — a delay that actually happened, records that had to hold, an Engineer who had to be persuaded. The names are redacted; the mechanics, the arguments and the lessons are exactly as they played out.
