In 1960 around 250 writs were issued relating to construction disputes. Within 30 years this number increased five-fold, and in the 20 years since then the number of disputes has not fallen. Some disputes are significant, others are quite minor, but most could probably be avoided. Disputes originate in disagreements or conflict between individuals, which if addressed early, can prevent escalation into situations that are difficult, expensive and time consuming to resolve. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConflicts in Construction\u003c\/i\u003e deals with all types of conflict but concentrates on the conflicts that lead to disputes in construction projects.
