Construction Contract Referee
(CCR)
The purpose of the CCR is to
provide a vehicle for resolving disagreements soon after they emerge and
before they become a dispute. The Construction Contract Referee (CCR) serves
actively as a dispute resolution advisor, over the course of the contract.
The CCR is present when the contracting parties sign their agreement and
remains on-call over the entire course of the project to help resolve disputes,
when needed. The CCR becomes intimately familiar with the contract and
adequately serves both contracting parties impartially.

instead of on one's legal position

expenses

-

the parties as non-adversarial
-
Reduces the impact of pending
claims by resolving disputes as they arise

between the parties leading to a WIN-WIN situation
