Lunchtime Webinar: Update on RICS Conflict Avoidance Process (CAP)

Webinar Overview

This webinar will explain what the updates to the Process is about, and will also discuss the progress made to date by the Conflict Avoidance Coalition to date.

Understand how CAP can impact the procurement and delivery of construction and engineering projects by using early intervention techniques to resolve issues on projects, without recourse to time consuming and costly disputes.

The Conflict Avoidance Coalition aims to prevent disputes through collaboration, growing to over 100 members. Originating from RICS and TfL, the Conflict Avoidance Pledge has over 500 committed organizations. Early intervention reduces costs and preserves relationships by embedding conflict avoidance in contracts. The flexible process effectively resolves various disputes while maintaining control and relationships. Future goals include expanding signatories and educating the next generation on collaboration and avoidance, fostering a more efficient and harmonious construction sector. This comprehensive approach ensures better project outcomes and a reduction in costly disputes.
