  • Abstract:
    Disputes between the parties to construction projects seem to be a fact of life worldwide. Many people and organisations spend a lot of money trying to resolve them; some are paid a lot of money for their advice and assistance in settling them; others seek to avoid them by altering the conditions of contract; yet others appear to spend time entering into them for their company survival. Irrespective of the perspective from which these disputes are viewed, it is generally agreed that they make construction much more expensive than it might be. This paper argues that active project management aimed specifically at the avoidance of disputes is not only a practical alternative but will also lead to easier resolution of any disputes which may still occur. This is to some extent a formalisation of good planning and control practice. The paper contains a description of the method and the experience which has been gained in its use on a number of projects. The benefits and drawbacks are discussed.
