International Construction Disputes

are highly technical long-term projects in which the structureand the shape of the building, road, bridge, plant, or other works is planned and developed on an ongoing basis. They involve many parties, which – although supposedly committed to achieve a common goal – all have their own interests. These and other reasons lead to a high technical, organizational, and legal complexity, which increases the risk of disputes and the need for effective dispute resolution. However, not only construction projects, but also construction disputes and their resolution are highly complex. The book focusses on the nutsand bolts of these complex construction disputes and their resolution. It covers in its chapters dispute avoidance, alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, litigation, and evidence inconstruction disputes as well as future trends, such as the digitalized construction site and legal tech in construction disputes. The book looks on construction disputes from an international perspective, presents different paths to their resolution, and gives insight on the common issues faced on the way.
