Far too many large-scale, complex construction project contractors or owners do not adequately envision the potential for a project dispute and are therefore unprepared to deal with problems in a timely, affordable manner. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a potential solution.

On a construction project of any complexity, disputes are often the rule - not the exception. Avoidance or a quick resolution of disputes is often crucial to the economic success of the project. In this regard, one point must be stressed at the outset: The key to quick resolution of disputes is the use of systems designed to collect, preserve and organize information, including documents, throughout the project. Project documentation helps all parties avoid disputes and facilitates thorough presentation of claims, and effective alternative dispute resolution measures and litigation.
