ADR in Construction Explained: Mediation, Expert Determination, Mini-Trials and Hybrid Dispute

Описание: Construction disputes need the right resolution process.

This video explains how to match a construction dispute with the right Alternative Dispute Resolution forum. It covers four major ADR categories: facilitative, advisory, determinative, and hybrid models.

Facilitative ADR, such as mediation, helps parties negotiate settlement without imposing a decision. Advisory ADR, such as mini-trials and senior executive appraisals, helps parties test the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Determinative ADR, such as expert determination and early neutral evaluation, is useful when a technical or commercial issue needs specialist assessment. Hybrid models, such as Med-Arb and Arb-Med, combine settlement discussion with a route to finality.

The video shows how project teams can choose the right forum based on dispute type, urgency, technical complexity, relationship risk, value, evidence quality, and contract requirements.

This video is useful for construction professionals, contract administrators, quantity surveyors, claims consultants, project managers, engineers, and students studying construction contracts and dispute resolution.
