Abstract

EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contracts are increasingly used in large infrastructure projects in Indonesia due to their efficiency and clear division of responsibilities (Federation Internationale des Ingenieurs-Conseils [FIDIC], 2017). However, this contract is rooted in a Common Law system that is different from Indonesia's national legal system which adheres to Civil Law (Subekti, 2019; Satrio, 2021). This study aims to analyze the extent to which the Indonesian Civil Law system is able to maintain its legal sovereignty in the implementation of FIDIC Silver Book-based EPC contracts, as well as identify legal challenges that arise due to differences in legal principles. The method used is a normative juridical approach combined with conceptual and comparative analysis of the provisions of the Civil Code (1847), Law Number 2 of 2017 concerning Construction Services (Law of the Republic of Indonesia, 2017), and risk allocation and dispute resolution clauses in the FIDIC Conditions of Contract (FIDIC, 2017). The results of the study show that there are fundamental differences in the principle of risk sharing and dispute resolution mechanisms between the Common Law and Civil Law systems. Several clauses in FIDIC require harmonization to be in line with the principles of justice, legal certainty, and proportionality that apply in national law (Hidayat, 2021; Osei, 2022). This research contributes to strengthening academic and practical understanding of the harmonization between international contracts and national law. These findings are expected to be a conceptual basis for the development of adaptive construction legal norms while maintaining Indonesia's legal sovereignty (Lubis, 2020; Klee, 2021).

Abstract

Construction projects inherently involve the public sphere because their outcomes directly impact community safety, welfare, and access to public facilities. Consequently, the fulfillment of constitutional rights—particularly the principles of equality before the law under Article 27(1) of the 1945 Constitution and legal certainty under Article 28D(1)—is essential to ensure that development is carried out fairly. This article examines how these rights are realized or potentially violated through two key regulatory instruments: construction contracts and building permit processes. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory analysis, doctrinal review, and comparative reference to FIDIC Red Book 2017, the study identifies common sources of constitutional risk such as ambiguous technical specifications, unclear brand corridors, incomplete designs, and procedurally defective permits. The article concludes that strengthening contract documents, enhancing transparency of permitting procedures, and ensuring accountable public oversight are crucial for safeguarding constitutional rights in equitable development.
