dc.description.abstract | Arbitration procedure was originated as the
most efficient ADR method as it was fast track in resolving
disputes and no legal formalities involved. But was then

were introduced in the international arbitration forums as
a variant of arbitration to re-root the advantages once
originated in the arbitration proceedings, the accelerated
speed and cost effectiveness, while considering the
necessity of the finely tuned procedural of a quality award.

arbitration institutes and is effectively being initiated to
solve challenging disputes in various discipline. Thus, this

collected from conducting semi-structured with Sri Lankan
construction stakeholders and arbitration institutes and
analysed through content analysis. Which resulted the
conclusion that construction stakeholders tend to be more
reluctant towards adopting to expedited arbitration and
