Construction Issue/Dispute Resolution
Construction disputes drag down a project and it’s team. Issues that are not resolved in a timely manner can harm the project, and there is only a window of opportunity when a technical decision can be made before it effects the project. We provide two forums for resolution.
Facilitated Issue Resolution Session
A Construction Issue/Dispute resolution session is an additional part of your follow-up partnering session. The facilitator provides a safe place for the team to discuss the issue and work toward a good solution for the project. This session is typically two to four hours in length and occurs before or after a regularly scheduled partnering workshop.
Facilitated Dispute Resolution Session
A more formal process, the Facilitated Dispute Resolution (FDR) session is typically a separate meeting where the those in dispute come work toward resolution. An extension of your partnering effort, the FDR’s objective is to help the decision makers from the disputing parties to come to agreement. Much less formal than a Dispute Resolution Board, the FDR fosters a dialogue among all parties and the parties themselves, with the help of a skilled facilitator, come to resolution.
