Problems and disagreements arise in most major construction projects. Too many of these challenges will result in needless litigation and litigation is costly and time consuming. Mediation is typically quicker and less expensive. There are 2 forms of dispute resolution. Mediation and arbitration. Parties at dispute should try to resolve the dispute first with mediation prior to arbitration.
Mediation can be started after the parties have tried to solve the problem directly or when both parties are willing to consider the other’s position. An experienced Mediator will be required to be present at the mediation meeting. The mediator will have “hands on” experience in the construction industry.
