I have over 20 years of construction experience. The most unpleasant aspect of construction is the handling of disputes. This aspect of construction was previously  an extremely tedious, expensive, and confusing process. There are now Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods available.
Mediation is a process to resolve matters by mutual agreement.
Arbitration uses the decision of a mutually-agreed-upon neutral person whose decision is final and binding. It is of utmost importance that this arbitrator be knowledgeable in the field of dispute, not just an attorney or retired judge. The courts, large corporations, and nearly every agency involved with litigation now recommend, and in many cases mandate, the use of arbitration.
I am a certified arbitrator. As such I can resolve construction and other issues, usually in one day, and allow the constructive process to continue for a very cost-effective fee, typically $300-$1800.
