Alternative dispute resolution as feasible resolution for construction disputes from the perspective of CIDB G7 contractors

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is seen as a feasible mean of settling disputes due to its method that embraces flexibility, amicability, informality, confidentiality, overall satisfaction, direct control, optimization of minimal resources, responsiveness, speed and is low in cost.

Other findings of the analysis which were obtained from Grade G7 contractors’ perspective have shown that ‘guideline enhancement and/or simplification’ were the most agreed enhancement mechanism of ADR to be implemented in order to encourage the implementation of ADR among the Malaysian construction industry players. The results of the study also showed that there is a positive relationship between the ADR’s feasible features and ADR’s enhancement mechanisms, which means that the result of implementing the enhancement mechanisms of ADR, more feasible features of ADR can be optimized.
