Adjudication users' guide next on list
A guide for users of adjudication will be the next document
produced by the Construction Umbrella Bodies Task Group
(CUBTG).
Last week construction minister Brian Wilson launched a guide for
adjudicators themselves. He said: "This is an authoritative and
helpful document that will give confidence and assurance to
adjudicators dealing with difficult questions in a highly
adversarial climate."
Some adjudicators called for a more definitive guide, but CUBTG
member Rod Pettigrew said it was not meant to be comprehensive, but
something practical, and the result of some "remarkable
consensus".
Construction bodies at the launch said the planned sister
documentation for users of adjudication would be useful for
members. It will be available within three months, according to the
CUBTG.
