Arbitration in Construction projects: How SeaCity Makes Dispute Resolution More Efficient

In the construction industry, disputes are unfortunately quite common. From violations of specifications for materials and workmanship to contract breaches, delays, and payment defaults, conflicts can arise at multiple stages of a project. The complexity of construction contracts often leads to disagreements over interpretations, scope changes, maintenance liabilities, and cost escalations. Fortunately, Arbitration offers a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to courtroom litigation.

What Is Arbitration?

Arbitration is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which allows parties to resolve their conflicts outside the traditional court system. It involves a neutral third party — the arbitrator — who hears the case and makes a legally binding decision, known as an award. Especially in the construction industry, arbitration has become a widely accepted and often preferred method of handling disputes due to its efficiency, flexibility, and reduced cost.

Arbitration can be voluntary or mandatory, depending on the construction contract. Mandatory arbitration means all parties are contractually obligated to resolve disputes through arbitration. In voluntary cases, the parties may choose arbitration once a disagreement arises.

Why Choose Arbitration Over Litigation?

Arbitration offers several advantages over litigation:

  • Faster resolution timelines
  • Lower legal costs
  • Greater privacy and confidentiality
  • A more streamlined and less formal process

These benefits make arbitration a practical solution for both minor issues and large, complex disputes in construction.
