Скачать или смотреть Resolving Construction Disputes: Effective Strategies for Negotiation and Alternate Dispute

The video description provides guidance on resolving construction and engineering disputes through two methods: Negotiating with the Other Party and Using Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). Method 1 focuses on negotiating with the other party: Evaluate the situation by reviewing the contract and related documents, paying attention to breach of contract clauses, including "force majeure." Send a letter to the other party, maintaining a civil tone and providing a deadline for response. Wait for a response and, if necessary, schedule a meeting to discuss options for resolving the dispute. Discuss options civilly, considering all proposals, and aim to find a resolution. If an agreement is reached, document it in writing, creating an addendum to the original contract with both parties' signatures. Method 2 involves using ADR: Determine if the contract requires ADR, such as mediation or binding arbitration. If ADR is required, find a local mediator or arbitrator with expertise in construction law. Notify the other party in writing if planning to engage the ADR clause, including details about the proceeding. Attend the scheduled ADR appointment, following the rules and procedures provided by the ADR provider, and be prepared to present evidence or witnesses if allowed. Throughout both methods, the emphasis is on maintaining a civil tone, adhering to contractual obligations, and working towards a resolution to avoid legal escalation in construction and engineering disputes.
