Overview / in a nutshell • SAICE recently introduced GCC 2010, which makes use of Adjudication, and provides for appointment of Adjudicators and Adjudication Boards • Parties to a contract can ask SAICE president to appoint Adjudicators • Therefore SAICE needed a panel of Adjudicators, to run similar to its panels of Arbitrators and Mediators • Questions to be answered included skills & training, from educational to professional including specialist knowledge, to form basis of admission criteria • Author serves on SAICE PMCD committee as portfolio co-ordinator on dispute resolution

Literature Review • Relied mainly on ICE and CIDB criteria / guidelines • Other references: CIArb, DRBF, CIC, Queensland, FIDIC, etc • Others x-ref one another, e.g. RICS, RIBA, CIOB • Maritz @ RICS 2007 findings • Lows levels of knowledge and use of adjudication in SA • Adjudicators need an “adjudication qualification” • Maiketso and Maritz @ RICS 2009 findings • Not enough adjudicators in SA • No established framework for skills and training • Further findings and recommendations • Need to better organize adjudication and accredit adjudicators • General agreement reached on relevant skills, useful techniques and desirable attributes • Unpacking of “adjudication qualification” revealed general agreement on knowledge & experience requirements • Author submitted article for publication in SAICE journal in 2009 on this, which may be published in next issue (Oct-11)
