Briefly explores the way building contracts have become more sophisticated in their provisions for dispute resolution procedures. Considers whether escalating resolution processes are good, but points out the basic problem which they cannot address is that parties are reluctant to use dispute resolution processes as identifying a dispute is often seen as an admission of failure. Concludes that the sensible way to achieve effective team-work is to adopt partnering.
