The civil engineering industry, known for its complex projects and large-scale operations, demands precision, cooperation and clear communication. Given the high stakes, it’s inevitable that conflicts arise.
The key to maintaining a stable and productive work environment lies in effective dispute resolution. In this space, the Bargaining Council for the Civil Engineering Industry (BCCEI) plays a vital role, offering solutions tailored specifically for the sector.
Merle Denson, Manager of the BCCEI’s Dispute Resolution Centre, highlights that dispute resolution is not just about settling disagreements. “It’s an integral part of sound business management,” she explains. “Effective resolution prevents conflicts from escalating into costly legal battles, conserving both time and resources.”
The BCCEI’s Dispute Resolution Centre (DRC) stands out in its approach by offering industry-specific dispute mechanisms. Accredited by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA), the Centre ensures that all cases are handled within legal frameworks, promoting fair and just outcomes.
