This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assembled from Dispute Resolution Journal - the flagship publication of the American Arbitration Association - the chapters in the Handbook have all, where necessary, been revised and updated prior to publication. The book is succinct, comprehensive and a practical introduction to the use of arbitration and ADR, written by leading practitioners and scholars. The Handbook begins with chapters on specific strategies and tools to help manage risks and avoid disputes in the construction field. It discusses ADR as it relates to subcontracting and labor disputes, the use of a neutral architect, the importance of site visits, and the significance of understanding ADR procedures before agreeing to them. The option of using mediation to resolve disputes is explored, including guidelines and tools for successful mediation, the expert’s role in construction mediation, and what works and what doesn’t work in construction disputes. The use of arbitration is also looked at in depth and guidance is provided for both the arbitrator and for the advocate. There is an entire section devoted to partnering (the creation of a working relationship between a building owner and a contractor which further involves subcontractors, design professionals, and other agencies), discussing its benefits and providing useful tips. Lastly, advice is provided for both small and complex construction claims, and the use of Dispute Review Boards (comprising panels of three technically qualified neutral individuals). The chapters were selected from an extensive body of writings and, in the main, represent world-class assessments of arbitration and ADR practice. All the major facets of the field are addressed and provide the reader with comprehensive and accurate information, lucid evaluations, and an indication of future developments.

The Employer’s and Engineer’s Guide to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract sets out the essential administrative requirements of a FIDIC based contract by reference to the FIDIC 1999 Red Book. The obligations and duties of the Employer and the Engineer are identified and discussed. Potential pitfalls are highlighted and likely consequences pointed out. The importance of the Employer’s role in the preparation of tenders, which fully reflect his requirements and duties and obligations arising in the execution of the works, is emphasised. The key role of the Engineer in the effective administration of contracts after award is examined and commentary provided. Included in the guide are a number of appendices, including model letters which will be of value to less experienced staff (particularly those whose mother-tongue is not the English language). Engineers, quantity surveyors and project managers engaged in the contractual administration of international projects using FIDIC forms of contract will find the concise guidance in simple and jargon-free language provided here invaluable.

This book’s companion website offers invaluable resources to freely download, adapt and use: Model letters for use by the Employer Model letters for use by the Contractor Sample Interim Payment Certificate Model Form for Submissions to the Engineer Model Form of Engineer’s Order for Varied Works Model Form of Daywork/Daily Record Sheets

Download or read book ICE Dispute Resolution Board Procedure written by Institution of Civil Engineers (Great Britain) and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2005 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispute Resolution Boards (DRB)s are a "job-site" form of dispute avoidance and resolution. DRBs have proven an effective, economic and user-friendly method of avoiding the extensive costs and diversions of resources usually associated with dispute resolution in the construction and engineering industries. Usually consisting of three experienced, respected and independent Adjudicators, the DRB is the generic phrase used to include Dispute Adjudication Boards, Dispute Review Boards and Panels and Dispute Conciliation Boards. The DRB is established at the commencement of a project. The Members are kept abreast of project activities by receipt of routine reports and periodic visits to the job-site. When inter-party negations reach deadlock disputes and claims are referred to the DRB at project level. The ICE has drafted this procedure to be used in conjunction with all standard forms of contract and for use both within the UK and internationally. Two alternative procedural rules are contained in this document. One has been devised for use on international projects and UK contracts which are not subject to the provisions of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the Act) and the other is in full compliance with the Act. These procedures and rules may need to be modified to comply with any statutory requirements in the applicable jurisdiction. The ICE maintains a list of DRB Members, each of whom has been suitably trained and assessed by the ICE's Conciliation and Adjudication Advisory Panel (CAAP) as being qualified, experienced and capable of acting on DRBs in the UK and/or overseas. This List is available from the ICE website at: www.ice.org.uk/law Upon application, the ICE will appoint DRB Members from the published list. Application forms for such appointments are included within this document and are also available from the DAS or from the above website. Contained in these procedures are the following documents: - ICE Dispute Resolution Procedure Rules: Alternative One: For use on International Projects and UK Contracts which are not subject to the provisions of the UK Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 - ICE Dispute Resolution Procedure Rules: Alternative Two: UK Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (Act) Compliant - Dispute Resolution Board Agreeement - Tripartite Agreement (TPA) - Application for the appointment of a DRB Member or chairman - Requirements and application procedures for persons wishing to be considered for inclusion in the ICE's List of DRB Members - Requirements for DRB Member's Continuing Professional Development Criteria for entry to the ICE List of DRB members are available by application to the Disputes Administration Service (DAS) of the ICE or can be downloaded from the above website.
