ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION

Arbitration and mediation

Harmonious relationships onsite are essential, even minor problems can develop into grievances or disputes if they’re not dealt with quickly and effectively. Although having suitable policies and procedures to resolve onsite problems is essential, in many cases a positive result can be achieved through early and informal intervention. I provide an independent and objective service for dealing with disputes between clients, principal contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, designers and workers onsite.

Arbitration and mediation is an informal way of resolving disagreements or disputes onsite and can avoid the need to use more formal or legal procedures. It involves a neutral third person working with those in dispute to help them reach an agreement. It is both a confidential and voluntary process.
