Property and Construction
Erwin Mediation Services provide dispute resolution services for commercial and residential construction. These disputes can involve the construction company, professional advisors, sub-contractors and property owners. What ever the dynamic, EMS will provide a mediation service that can be used to resolve difficulties during the construction period or on project completion.
A mediator could be appointed to the project who will help the parties find an acceptable and lasting agreement.
EMS also deals with landlord and tenant disputes and issues arising from the purchase and sale of property.
In the property arena, mediation is chosen over litigation for key reasons:
- Speed
- Mediation can be arranged very quickly.
- Cheaper
- Because of the speed costs associated with delays are minimised. Litigation or arbitration would usually be a substantially more expensive choice.
- Flexibility
- The process allows for flexibility creating opportunities for resolution and lasting agreement not available through more formal structures.
- Preventative
- Incorporating a mediation policy within the management of a construction project allows issues to be resolved quickly in a manner agreed by all parties.
