BuildingMediation.

What is it about the construction of buildings that lends itself to disputes?!

For some reason the parties in the building industry often finds themselves at loggerheads! But the good news is that mediation is a process particularly effective in the building dispute context. Weighing up the cost of litigation, the end result each party is hoping to achieve, the parties’ contractual obligations (JBCC or otherwise), and the fact that the project must be completed.

Mediation offers what is often the only really appropriate and efficient space to work out the contentious issues.

  • “Things with our landlord at work had become impossible. We could not finish a conversation without shouting and we never moved forward, we just went round and round in frustrated circles. When we started mediation the heat went out of the room and we started to talk practicalities. In just two sessions we had come up with a plan for the next three months, allowing both of us time to rebuild the trust. Then we negotiated a new contract. Caroline made it happen in a calm but direct way.”
