Mediation and Arbitration
Construction contract disputes are an inevitable aspect of the industry, necessitating effective resolution mechanisms to maintain project timelines and stakeholder relationships. Mediation and arbitration are two widely recognized methods for dispute resolution.
Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates negotiations between disputing parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It is non-binding and focuses on preserving professional relationships and promoting collaborative solutions.
Arbitration, on the other hand, involves an arbitrator or a panel making a binding decision after reviewing evidence and arguments. It is less formal than court proceedings but offers a definitive resolution. Other methods include negotiation, where parties attempt to resolve issues directly, and adjudication, a quick, binding process often used for interim dispute resolution. These methods provide flexible, cost-effective alternatives to litigation, reducing time and financial burdens. Effective dispute resolution is critical for ensuring project continuity, financial stability, and maintaining professional relationships within the construction industry.
