Advantages of Arbitration
Disputes are bound to occur in the construction industry. With the rising costs and time commitment required in traditional litigation, construction professionals need to protect themselves and their businesses. Industry organizations across the nation recommend arbitration for its significant advantages in resolving construction-related disputes.
Typically, arbitrators act as an impartial person to deliver a binding decision outside of the traditional judicial system. Arbitration offers the benefits of confidentiality, limited required documentation, cost effectiveness, and timeliness, providing a structured framework for dispute resolution. Since decisions in arbitrated cases are final, legal issues cannot be drawn out in appeals.
