Arbitration (construction)

In conflicts within the construction sector, it is not always customary to appeal to the ordinary courts. In many cases, contracts stipulate that disputes should be submitted to the Arbitration Board for construction disputes. Construction arbitration is a specific form of dispute resolution that requires specialized legal knowledge and experience. 

What is construction arbitration? 

Construction arbitration is an alternative procedure where disputes are settled by arbiters knowledgeable about construction practices. This usually occurs based on provisions in construction contracts where parties agree in advance to resolve disputes not through civil court but via arbitration. The most common body in this regard is the Arbitration Board for construction disputes. 

Procedures at this board differ in several respects from regular judicial procedures. Think of different timelines, procedural rules, and evidence requirements. Good preparation and knowledge of arbitration law are essential for successful litigation.
