Using Mediation to Resolve Construction Disputes

Summary

Construction projects often take years to complete, involve layers of contractors and subcontractors and hundreds, if not thousands, of workers. Efficient conflict resolution is important in the construction industry because it helps maintain relationships between people and entities who must continue to work together on a project that may be midstream in its schedule when conflicts arise. In addition to maintaining a good relationship on a project under construction, the parties want to maintain their relationship for future projects.
