Note: The training you will receive has been designed by RICS/ADRIC based upon the combined experience of these organizations respecting construction adjudication.  ADRIC/RICS are confident that, following the successful completion of the three module program, a candidate will be well trained in the basic principles of construction adjudication and eligible to apply for a Q.Adj designation from ADRIC (subject to completing the ADRIC designation process).

A candidate must note, however, that this training does not guarantee an appointment to the roster of any nominating authority in any jurisdiction.  Appointment to a Canadian federal or provincial roster of adjudicators remains subject to the relevant legislative frameworks many of which are not yet enacted in whole or in part.  Moreover, it is the nominating authority in each jurisdiction which is vested, under the legislation, with the power to appoint adjudicators in those jurisdictions. For example, ADRIC’s Quebec Affiliate, L’Institut de mediation et d’arbitrage du Quebec, is the current nominating authority in that province. Similarly, ADRIC’s Saskatchewan Affiliate, ADRSK, shares responsibilities with the Saskatchewan Construction Association for the operation of the Saskatchewan Construction Dispute Resolution Office (SCDRO), the nominating authority in that province. Otherwise, ADRIC/RICS has not yet been selected as a nominating authority under any federal or provincial legislation. Further information can be found at:  https://adric.ca/construction-adjudication.

Should ADRIC/RICS seek to establish the ADRIC -RICS Roster. Candidates will be required to complete an application and undertake an additional ADRIC-RICS interview process (extra fee applies) and complete the RICS DRS Professional Ethics module.  Ongoing CPD is required to maintain the designation and remain on the Panel.

MANDATORY TEXT BOOKS:

Candidates will be required to purchase the following material for Module 3 Unit 1:

  • INTRODUCTION TO CONTRACTS, by MacDougall
  • CANADIAN TORT LAW IN A NUTSHELL
  • CANADIAN EVIDENCE LAW IN A NUTSHELL

There will be additional online materials which candidates will be directed to during the course of the program  or which will be made available on the online portal.
