Arbitration is the most commonly used method of dispute resolution within the South African construction industry. Arbitration is becoming increasingly more expensive and time consuming and alternative methods of dispute resolution are seeked. The objective of this treatise is to study the procedures of adjucation and mediation in order to identity the strengths and weaknesses of these procedures. The findings will be compared to one another to assess the effectiveness of either these procedures for use in the construction industry as alternative methods to arbitration and litigation
