After a highly successful tenure as Executive Director at Anvelo, during which Garry Andrews spearheaded year-on-year double-digit growth, he is embarking on an exciting new venture. Andrews has announced plans to launch the Dispute Resolution Marketplace Platform (DRMP), a groundbreaking solution set to redefine how payment and contract disputes are managed within the building and construction industry across Australia and the broader APAC region.

This innovative platform, currently under development, aims to simplify dispute resolution processes and provide faster, more accessible solutions for businesses navigating the complexities of the Security of Payments Act (SOPA) and other regional frameworks.

With the DRMP, Andrews seeks to address critical challenges faced by small-to-medium business owners and senior managers, including:

  • Lack of awareness about the speed and efficiency of SOPA and similar dispute resolution mechanisms.
  • Fear of unknown outcomes and high costs.
  • Producing high quality adjudication applications and responses that hinder outcomes.
  • Time constraints prevent business owners face from focusing on operations.

“The construction industry across APAC faces significant inefficiencies and stress when dealing with disputes. The DRMP will simplify the process, educate users, and provide cost-effective tools to resolve disputes quickly and effectively,” Andrews said. “Our mission is to deliver a solution that works not only in Australia but across the region, empowering businesses to focus on growth and innovation.”

The platform is positioned to serve over 45,000 construction-related businesses across Australia, with further expansion into other APAC markets. The SOPA adjudication market alone handles thousands of applications annually in Australia, and Andrews estimates significant untapped potential by addressing disputes that never reach adjudication due to lack of awareness or complexity.

The DRMP is expected to launch in the near future, offering streamlined solutions and expert guidance tailored to the needs of the APAC construction industry.
