83% of total arbitration costs: Parties' own costs as a share of arbitration costs, 221 ICC awards (ICC Commission, 2015; Global; high confidence).

What it is. 83% of total arbitration costs, being each party's own lawyers, experts and witnesses.

Sample. 221 ICC awards from 2012, all sectors - not construction-specific.

What it is not. The share is of arbitration cost, not of contract value, which is why the unit is a ratio but the basis is explicitly the arbitration bill. Litigation to recovery is not linear: fighting is expensive in people's time.
