Turning Construction Disputes into Clear Solutions

In the high-stakes world of construction, disputes can feel like a dark cloud over your project. At Bluesky ADR, we live by a simple philosophy: Black cloud, silver lining, Blue Sky. We are a modern, innovative consultancy dedicated to providing the commercial and contractual support you need to move forward.

Whether you are an Employer, a Main Contractor, or a Subcontractor, we offer an end-to-end service. We help you avoid conflict through robust contract advice and training, but when disputes are unavoidable, we step in with the expertise required to resolve them efficiently.

Expertise Led by Industry Veterans

Our strength lies in our leadership. When you hire us, you gain access to decades of high-level experience in both the practical and legal sides of construction.

Our directors, Peter Barnes and Matthew Davies, bring a formidable combination of qualifications to your case. Peter is a Chartered Arbitrator, Registered Panel Adjudicator, and Accredited Mediator with over 45 years in the field. Matthew combines his Quantity Surveying background with deep legal expertise, holding an LLB (Hons) and LPC (Commendation).

Why Professionals Trust Our Approach

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy. We offer a bespoke, friendly service designed to ensure your specific expectations are met. We are known for being:

• Focused: We understand the tactics needed to reach a successful conclusion.
• Efficient: We know that in construction, time is money.
• Versatile: We handle everything from non-contentious commercial advice to high-stakes adjudication and arbitration.

Specialists in Adjudication and Arbitration

We regularly and successfully represent parties in both pursuing and defending adjudication actions. We understand that adjudication is a fast-paced, statutory right, and we have the in-depth knowledge to manage the process—from the initial Notice of Adjudication to the final Decision.

If your contract requires arbitration, we are highly experienced in navigating those proceedings, including the strategic use of Calderbank offers to protect your position. We also specialise in Mediation and Negotiation, often finding that these are the quickest methods to achieve a successful resolution without the need for formal proceedings.

"Our mission is to provide the expertise and dedication required to earn your trust, ensuring every dispute finds its 'Blue Sky' resolution."
