Getting Directly to the Point of the Contested Matter: Dispute Mitigation & Resolution in ConcensusDocsConstruction Forms

Dispute Mitigation & Resolution in ConsensusDOCS Construction Forms – This article, written by the NASBP’s then General Counsel and Director of Government Relations (now NASBP’s CEO), Mark H. McCallum, describes how the ConsensusDOCS forms use a multi-method, graduated approach to defuse project disputes and how their approach precludes a role for the project design professional as initial arbiter, a point of departure from other industry standard form families. The article was published by the American Bar Association’s Fall 2008 Forum on the Construction Industry.
