Abstract

The construction industry is an essential sector that drives economic growth and development, but it is prone to conflicts, disputes, and claims. Controlling these factors is essential for the efficient running of a construction project in order to achieve better profit, a higher rate of return, and on-time project completion. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques have grown in popularity in the construction sector, and many disputes have occurred in projects with complex designs and conventional procurement methods. This study examines the relationship between project features and disagreement reasons. A mixed method design was utilized, which is a method for collecting, analyzing, and "mixing" or combining quantitative and qualitative data at some point during the investigation. This research assessed how construction-related conflicts affected the local construction industry. The findings showed that higher-ups on the project, notably the owner and/or contractor, are incompetent and are to blame for problems involving construction. Additionally, one of the most serious causes of disputes was thought to be the time spent on project preparation. Three ADR techniques for resolving construction-related conflicts were discovered in this study. Public firms employed mediation and arbitration, but private companies used negotiation. This project aims to encourage a more welcoming approach to employing ADR techniques to address construction-related issues, which may benefit construction firms by enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of their projects.
