Collaborating to Achieve Project Excellence

WebEx Meeting
About the Webinar
Arcadis recently released the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Arcadis Global Construction Disputes Report, which demonstrated the average length and value of UK construction disputes are the lowest in the world, but collaboration is often overlooked when it comes to avoiding, mitigating and even resolving problems.
Arcadis invites you to hear from our distinguished chair and panellists on their views and experience on:
- Dispute lengths
- Values and causes within the construction and engineering industry during 2019
- Observations and predictions for what the future may hold
You will be provided with the opportunity to ask your burning questions to the panel throughout the webinar. We hope that you will take the opportunity to discuss your thoughts about construction and engineering disputes!
The event will focus on the construction and engineering industry within the UK; however the panellists will also draw on their extensive international experience throughout.
If you have any questions or specific topics you would like to be discussed, please reach out to Ann Spires.
