Due to the complex requirements of planning and
constructing building projects, problems may occur that need to be dealt
with promptly and amicably.
A constructive and professional way of dealing with these conflicts is
therefore very important for us as architects because considerable money,
precious time, and long-term contractual relationships are at stake.
Mediation in the building industry offers out-of-court, professional, neutral,
time-saving and affordable help in the case of conflicts.
A neutral mediator negotiates between the conflicting parties and supports
them in a joint endeavour, based on their own interests, to develop sustainable
solutions.
Goals of Construction Mediation
– Improvement of co-operation and conflict culture in the building industry, construction trade and architecture
– Avoidance of drawn out and costly public administration, court, surveyor, and appraiser fees
– Mutual understanding of the interests of the conflicting parties
– Flexible tailor-made solutions
– Securing existing contract and business relationships
