The Guide to Construction Arbitration is a GAR book, offers practical information about the construction arbitration. This book was published in September 2017 and the book is edited by Professor Stavros Brekoulakis and David Brynmor Thomas.

The focus of The Guide to Construction Arbitration is the resolution of disputes arising out of construction projects. It also addresses substantive aspects of International Construction Arbitration contracts. Furthermore, The Guide explains how disputes arise out of a typical construction contract, and what are the substantive remedies, rights, and obligations of the parties to a construction contract.

The Guide to Construction Arbitration is beneficial for –

• Students who study construction arbitration
• Practitioners who are inexperienced in international construction contracts and dispute resolution (e.g. in-house lawyers and construction professionals)
• Lawyers in private practice who are familiar with arbitration, but lack experience in dispute resolution proceedings in construction arbitration will also benefit
