The Clauses that Cause a Need for Construction Mediation

Saturday, January, 15, 2011


If you have found yourself in a situation involving a dispute over the terms within a construction contract, the option of construction mediation services may be a convenient solution to look into. It’s quite often that the terms within a construction contract are detrimental to the outcome of a contract if not written in detail. Parties involved in any construction agreement enter into the said agreement under the pretense that one party is to provide a service that the other seeks to the best of their ability under said terms. When either party does not honor these terms or types of contracts, many companies would rather enter into a construction mediation agreement before turning to court proceedings in attempts to keep their reputation in good standing. Unlike some mediation services that are available, a third party professional who has the basic knowledge with construction contracts and according laws usually dictates the construction mediation. Thus, reaching an acceptable agreement a bit quicker. This type of experience and knowledge allows the construction meditation proceedings to run smoothly as certain terms and factors do not need to be explained or elaborated on. Although it is not required, either party may hire legal representation for the proceedings as long as they properly notify the opposing party and provide all attorney information. Construction mediation is much more acceptable and beneficial means of solving disputes rather than spending exorbitant amounts of time and money on court proceedings.
