In this interview, we cover the critical things you need to know before you can consider being an ‘expert’ or ‘arbitrator’ in an Arbitration Case.
This video will be immensely valuable to architects who find themselves involved in a project that 'went South' and they wish to steer it to a favourable conclusion.
About this Course
An interview where we ask the questions we were too ashamed to ask until now:
- How much can you earn from being an expert or arbitrator?
- Do I need additional training?
- How does it actually work? Like the actual process?
- What should be in an “expert report”?
- What is a statement of claim?
- Am I too young to start doing it?
- Where should I start to become an expert or arbitrator?
After watching this interview you will know it is a ‘hell-yeah’ or a ‘good-heavens-no’ for you to get involved in the world of ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
And if you secretly have no idea what arbitrations are about and you hope you will never find out, this interview will make it far less scary!

Engela White
Engela White has expanded her knowledge and experience in the administration of the building contract by furthering her education in alternative dispute resolution.
This was done by obtaining a formal qualification as arbitrator from the Association of Arbitrators of South Africa, an organisation offering a concentration of expertise in the legal and construction.
In addition, Engela completed the Association of Arbitrators’ course work on Construction Law and as a fellow of the Association, she facilitates alternative dispute resolution on a case by case basis in the form of arbitrations and adjudications.
The in-depth knowledge gained during the 5 year study period into Contract and Construction Law, enabled Engela to have acted as a subject expert in several legal disputes. Her subjects of expertise involve the Law of Building and Engineering Contracts and the National Heritage Resources Act.
