    Attributes of ADR in the Sri Lankan Construction Industry
    (SLIIT, Faculty of Engineering, 2022-09-22) Edirisinghe, V; Marsh, D; Borthwick, F; Siriwardena, M; Cotgrave, A
    Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods were introduced to the construction industry to avoid the negative effects of litigation in relation to the cost, time, and business relationships of a construction project. This study focused on identifying the current ADR practices in the Sri Lankan construction industry and examined the specific attributes of each method to create a more effective process. A qualitative research strategy was carried out with interviews with industry professionals working in the Sri Lankan Construction Industry. Content analysis using NVivo software was used to analyse the data. The key findings revealed that the neutral third party has good knowledge of construction. Despite the differences in each ADR method, disputing parties do not have the confidence in the neutral third party or trust in the process. This study also revealed that the unavailability of these key attributes will finally affect the cost and reputation of the ADR methods. Therefore, the research suggests that to improve the ADR process and its success there should be awareness studies on ADR methods and training for ADR practitioners within the Sri Lankan Construction Industry.
