In Mediation |
Construction
is an extremely complex industry and is chiefly comprised of
architects, building designers, engineers, engineering
("A" license) contractors, general ("B"
license) contractors, approximately 46 sub-contractor
("C" license) specialty trades and the
manufacturers and suppliers of an endless list of building
materials and products.
Disputes
often arise and can frequently be mitigated with early
intervention by a skillful and highly experienced mediator,
before they become a litigated case.
When
the disputing parties become embroiled in the issues and can
no longer deal with each other, the dispute then often goes
to the lawyers and the case is filed and litigated in court
or arbitration. This inevitably becomes very expensive
and time consuming.
Mediation
is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) option to
litigation and is a process in which the parties can
participate directly with resolving the disputed issues at
hand. Mediating the litigated construction
case is a uniquely complex process which often involves
numerous parties and is often contentious.
