An Article on Impact of Technology in Construction Dispute Resolution

Abstract

The construction field is proving to be one of the most dynamic sectors not only on a global scale, but also in India. With a sector subject to extreme technicalities and complexities, it is only rational to infer that disputes arising out of construction activities would also call for distinct expertise and in depth understanding of the issues surrounding construction activities. The construction sector has seen positive growth in the application of Technology. Technological applications have become more independent in the development of problem-solving processes. Despite its incredible contributions, for example the decision-making processes faster, cheaper, and more predictable. Among the biggest beneficiaries of the advancement in technology within the recent past has been the construction industry, which is also complicated by its procedures and disputes. Advancement in technology helps in resolution of the problems of construction through the identification of the digital tools that enhance efficiency, transparency, and fairness. Key technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), blockchain technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, drone, project management software, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) internet of things (IOT) real-time monitoring and simulation alter traditional approaches to the solution of problems not only does the technology support dispute resolution, but also helps in lowering the level of conflict by providing better management and communication. By using technology in a careful and responsible way, we can help to build trust in digital solutions and make sure that everyone benefits from the amazing potential of this technology. The construction field is riddled with disputes due to its size mainly involving the builders or maybe even between the employees and employer. However, all of this affect the owners, hence there is a need to ensure that the disputes are solved amicably. This abstract examines the Impact of Technology in Construction Dispute Resolution.
