The Necessity of Partnership

Construction projects succeed on partnership and communication. Land owners, architects, builders and financiers rely heavily on each other, whether the project involves building a house or a shopping mall. Small oversights at any level can spiral into complex legal disputes and jeopardize not only the project at hand but also valued business relationships. An ensuing court battle would only exacerbate tensions and strain financial resources, possibly resulting in years of litigation.

Construction Turns to ADR
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a more efficient, predictable and amicable way to resolve construction disputes and achieve legal decisions without the expense and delays of court. That’s why state governments are showing increasing support for ADR in Right to Repair legislation. It’s also why construction partnerships are relying on ADR to manage risks, preserve relationships, and control legal expenditures.
