The Construction ADR Toolbox
Construction ADR in Practice
Everything to do with preventing and resolving construction disputes outside the court system.

Resources for Construction Lawyers and ADR Professionals
Our scope includes all things related to preventing and resolving construction disputes by means other than the court system—arbitration, mediation, dispute review boards, neutral evaluation, negotiation, and all other ways to resolve construction-related disputed issues.
Our vision is to provide interesting, timely, and useful thoughts and information to anyone interested in construction ADR. It may be something that you can use in a hearing or mediation next week, an idea that may apply to a developing dispute, a twist on the “normal” process for mediating or arbitrating that is useful to keep in mind for disputes down the road or just a relevant and thought-provoking idea to add to your ADR knowledge bank. We strive for insight as well as relevance, practical applications as well as concepts.
