To continue the project's progress, it should be avoided in the short term. Although there are other ways to resolve conflicts or difficulties, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the most viable option when compared to judicial systems. Only a small number of ADR processes, like arbitration, adjudication, and mediation, are incorporated in contract forms in Malaysia. Besides that, negotiation and conciliation are ADR methods which commonly used in other countries. Despite, there are still less usage in ADR in construction field. This survey conducted to study the awareness of ADR among contractors in Malaysia and G7 contractors as targeted respondent. This research focuses on analysing the best way to encourage and enhance ADR adoption among contractors in Malaysia. The fact that Malaysian contractors are not aware of ADR and do not use it is alarming. Additionally, a number of strategies have been proposed to promote ADR among Malaysian contractors so they can profit from ADR techniques.
