Abstract

The construction industry is prone to conflicts due to the high budgets and long durations of projects, which often involve uniqueness. The projects are handled by many people at various stages of the project; the chances of miscommunication and misunderstanding are high, which can lead to disputes. In this paper, a study is conducted on the resolution and reduction of disputes. In the resolution of disputes, different methods are explained and compared, including mediation, arbitration, conciliation, litigation, adjudication and ADR methods. Reduction of disputes can be done by various methods, which are compared here. Litigation is expensive and lengthy compared to other methods; arbitration is short. ADR methods are safe, and mediation, conciliation and adjudication are the most acceptable ways to resolve disputes. Prediction of disputes is also discussed, which includes technological approaches. This paper aims to provide an overall study of prediction, reduction, and resolution of disputes for the successful completion of the projects.
