Abstract

In the construction industry, disputes are not uncommon. The CII Dispute Prevention and Resolution Research team was formed to review the causes and administrative costs of such claims, recommend procedures for avoiding claims, and investigate alternatives for early, equitable settlement of claims. They further set out to understand the nature of such disputes as well as the steps required to prevent and resolve disputes in the contract administration process. Additional focus was applied to investigating alternative dispute resolution and techniques that prevent disputes from occurring or aid in timely on-site resolution. Through research, surveys, and a pilot Dispute Review Board (DRB), RT-23 found that there are five main conclusions: The industry must change. The change requires three steps. DRBs work. Project personnel must remain directly involved. Owners hold the key to implementing the system.
