Listen "Mark talks to Keith Blizzard"
Episode Synopsis
Send a Text - Feedback WelcomeThe complexity of construction projects, the changes that can happen during a project and the challenges of communication between the parties means that the sector is blighted with disputes. Many of these disputes are resolved between the parties through talking and leadership, however a pernicious few require external help to resolve. The 1996 Housing, Grants and Regeneration Act introduced adjudication into the industry as a relatively quick and economic way that parties could obtain an independent answer to their disputes that carried the weight of statute.This procedure is now nearly thirty years old and has been used thousands of times to support the construction sector. Keith Blizzard is Chartered quantity surveyor, an adjudicator, a mediator and a visiting lecturer, so is very well positioned to talk through the process and the pitfalls of adjudication. His experience and his insights are valuable to anyone new or experienced in the process of resolving construction disputes.
