Engineering and construction disputes often require practical solutions that preserve commercial relationships while avoiding the cost and complexity of formal proceedings.
Conciliation provides a confidential and collaborative process through which parties can explore mutually acceptable solutions with the assistance of an independent neutral professional.
By encouraging early constructive dialogue, conciliation helps maintain project continuity, reduce escalation, and support commercially balanced outcomes.
All conciliation proceedings are conducted on a strictly confidential basis, protecting the interests, reputations, and commercial sensitivities of the parties.
A streamlined and collaborative process designed to facilitate the timely resolution of disputes.
Reduced procedural complexity and lower costs when compared with formal arbitration or litigation proceedings.
Encourages constructive engagement while supporting the continuation of long-term professional and commercial relationships.
Access to conciliators with specialized engineering, construction, and contractual expertise.
Procedures may be adapted to reflect the nature, complexity, and operational requirements of each dispute.
A single conciliator is appointed by the SCECA Arbitration Court unless the parties agree otherwise. SCECA conciliators are selected for their specialized expertise.
The conciliator facilitates dialogue, clarifies issues, identifies settlement options, and may propose non-binding solutions with the parties’ consent.
Any party may submit an electronic application to SCECA. Proceedings commence upon payment of the registration fee and notification to the other party.
If a settlement is reached, a formal agreement is prepared. If not, proceedings conclude without prejudice, and SCECA may issue confirmation upon request.
At SCECA, conciliation is not merely an informal negotiation process—it is a professionally administered institutional mechanism designed to encourage constructive dialogue, protect project continuity, and facilitate balanced, sustainable, and commercially sound dispute resolution outcomes within the engineering and construction sector.
