The Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction (LADR), in collaboration with the ASCE Construction Institute (CI) held another successful international LADR workshop in Honolulu, Hawaii on October 24 through October 27, 2023.
The manuscripts presented were approved via peer review after the call for papers was sent in late 2022, with a manuscript deadline of August 2023. There were thirty-seven (37) approved manuscripts presented at the conference in a hybrid format. The presenters and presentations that were able to attend and present, or present their manuscripts remotely, were of high quality and topics covered fell within the scope of LADR. The presentations covered topics in BIM, COVID 19 related disputes and NLP recognition related to claims among many other diverse and important topics.
Through great response by the authors and effort of the reviewers and LADR Board, the editors are pleased to present the articles in this collection as part of our aim to improve dispute resolution in engineering and construction for the benefit of the industry.
