Survey Aimed at Improving Arbitration Services

Builders who use the American Arbitration Association (AAA) can participate in a survey designed to improve the services of that organization.

At a time when arbitration is becoming an important alternative for resolving disputes, NAHB is working with the National Construction Dispute Resolution Committee (NCDRC) to encourage the use of dispute avoidance and resolution in the construction industry and to help AAA become more responsive to industry needs.

Along with NAHB, there are about 20 other construction industry organizations that are members of NCDRC. The committee is conducting the survey as part of its mission to provide comprehensive guidance to AAA.

Those who use AAA services, along with their attorneys, are strongly encouraged to complete the survey. To participate, click here.
