Conflicts damage reputations
“Disputes can cause immeasurable harm to business relationships and brand reputations, as well as being painfully slow to resolve. As a result, when issues occur, projects are often delivered behind schedule, over budget, and quality is often undermined.”
Martin Burns, Head of ADR R&D, RICS
The RICS Conflict Avoidance Process (CAP) is a contractual mechanism, which helps parties to avoid getting embroiled in
pro-longed and damaging disputes.
Avoiding conflicts saves time, cost and energy that would be better served in delivering projects. Conflict Avoidance helps resolve issues at the time of the event in the way the contract intended, it helps both parties. From a commercial perspective it is a brilliant process compared to alternatives such as mediation, adjudication and arbitration.
