Prevent costly construction disputes before they require formal resolution
Construction disputes drain resources through expensive mediation, arbitration, adjudication, or litigation. Proactive Dispute Management for Construction and Related Industries provides a systematic approach to identifying conflict flashpoints before they escalate. Written by an award-winning construction management professor with over two decades of industry experience, this book delivers practical frameworks for preventing disputes rather than merely resolving them after damage occurs.
The book details how to conduct dispute risk analysis to identify potential conflict points early in project development. Learn to implement the three core tools of Proactive Dispute Management: dispute prevention, dispute avoidance, and dispute dousing. Discover how appointing project PDM captains creates accountability structures that significantly reduce dispute potential while promoting cooperative relationships among contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and clients.
Readers will also find:
- Step-by-step guidance for conducting dispute risk analysis that identifies potential conflict flashpoints and enables development of targeted prevention measures
- Practical frameworks for implementing dispute prevention, avoidance, and dousing strategies that address problems before they require formal resolution processes
- Detailed protocols for establishing project PDM captain roles that create accountability and significantly reduce dispute potential across construction teams
- Cooperative approaches to dispute management that benefit all project parties including contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and clients working together
- Actionable policies and measures that reduce reliance on costly alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation, arbitration, adjudication, and litigation
Written for professional construction project personnel worldwide, this book serves contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and clients seeking to reduce dispute-related costs and delays. By addressing conflicts proactively rather than reactively, teams can deliver projects on time, within budget, and to desired quality standards.
