Executive Summary
Arbitration in public works is where money + time get “stuck” if documentation and decision timelines slip. This view gives a clean, reader-friendly snapshot of trends and exposure.
Why this matters (in one breath)
When funds lock into arbitration, contractors bleed cashflow, departments lose time, and public infrastructure delivery slows down. The fastest “win” is usually not better law— it’s better records, better notices, and faster decisions at the pre-arbitration steps.

Financial Impact & Claims
Claims vs awards are rarely equal. And when cases drag, interest can become the real “project cost.” Hover bars for exact values.
Interest awards often run 10%–18% p.a.. If the matter drags, interest can rival the principal.
Dept counter-claims tend to fail when notices/records weren’t issued during execution (real-time evidence gap).
Typical cost per case can be significant even before award—plus management time, site team effort, and delays.
