Alway Associates - Adjudication
Adjudication within the Construction Industry has taken off with many disputes now being resolved using the Adjudication process as set out in the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 as well as the rules contained in many of the standard forms of contract, sub-contract and consultant agreements.
The use of Adjudication extends beyond the accepted scope for Arbitration or Litigation in that many smaller disputes can now be dealt within in a relatively fast and cost effective manner, that is not to say that large disputes cannot use Adjudication, they can and do.
Alway Associates have been in the forefront of Adjudication since the provisions of the 1996 Act first came into force in May 1998 and in that short time have not only advised and guided clients through the Adjudication process but have had our own staff appointed as Adjudicators, both by agreement and by way of nomination by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
The nature of Adjudication requires a fast service encompassing the initial advice as regards the dispute and thereafter the preparation and presentation of the submissions and associated documentation. Alway Associates' can provide such a service due to their flexibility both in terms of the allocation of resources and the support of their staff, breadth of expertise and experience of dispute resolution within the Construction Industry.
In our offices we have a range of disciplines by experience and qualification encompassing law, construction, quantity surveying, commercial and financial management and programming which makes this practice ideally suited to reacting quickly and effectively to the fast track nature of Adjudication.
Alway Associates' recognise that each Adjudication requires individual attention to ensure the best possible results and to this end will provide the most suitable person to take overall control and responsibility. At Alway Associates we have expertise in all areas of construction and construction law enabling us to provide a service second to none in quality and efficiency.
