Construction Contracts: Questions and Answers – Episode 24: Disputes

This episode delves into the often unavoidable area of construction contract disputes, exploring how disagreements can arise and the mechanisms available for resolution. We cover the common causes of disputes in construction projects, such as contract interpretation issues, delays, payment disagreements, and defects in work. This episode provides an overview of traditional dispute resolution methods, including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, as well as litigation when necessary. We also discuss alternative dispute resolution (ADR) options tailored to construction contracts, such as adjudication and dispute review boards, and highlight the advantages of early dispute resolution to avoid project delays and minimize legal expenses. Understanding these processes and the contractual provisions governing them helps parties manage conflicts effectively and keep construction projects on track.
