Dispute resolution process

The method of dispute resolution will depend on the nature of the query.

For sub-contractor valuations the dispute will be dealt with exclusively by the relevant project who will negotiate with the sub-contractor until such time that the dispute is resolved and payment can be made. In the interests of good sub-contractor relations these disputes resolutions are treated as a priority.

Missing documents or information, such as the latest insurance certificates, can also lead to a payment to sub-contractors being held. In these cases the Accounts Payable are often involved in informing the relevant project which usually results in no delay to the payment.

With suppliers the resolution will also be led by the project who have instigated the dispute but Accounts Payable will be involved if they are contacted by the supplier’s credit control department. The Accounts Payable team’s role is to expedite the resolution, acting as the liaison between the project and the supplier.
