Episode 203
The Conflict Avoidance Process is a fast-growing tool in resolving disputes while avoiding the costs of both arbitration and litigation, making it invaluable if used correctly.
Two firm advocates heading up the Conflict Avoidance Coalition are RICS’ own Martin Burns, and Kier’s Jim McCluskey FRICS, who discuss how CAP provisions can be integrated into contracts to help shift towards more cooperative project management.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:
- Conflict Avoidance Process (CAP) as a timely, cost-effective alternative to traditional dispute resolution methods
- The importance of early intervention when addressing potential disputes
- Numerous benefits of CAP, from swift resolutions to lower costs
- The role of the Conflict Avoidance Coalition and the Conflict Avoidance Pledge in promoting more collaborative practices in the construction industry
- Potential for CAP to become a standard clause in construction contracts
