02 Sep Construction Negotiation
What is construction dispute negotiation?
This involves dealing directly with the opposing party; that means communicating with the other side without a tribunal or court. This can be done by you or an appointed representative (such as us).
Negotiation can be a good first step. It starts with you approaching the other side with details of the matter in disputes and the issues that are in contention, and suggestions for how it can be sorted out. However, it does need full co-operation of the other side.
The process is not binding although negotiation can be incorporated into the contract from the outset. In addition, any agreement reached as the result of negotiations can be the subject of a written Settlement Agreement, which could then be enforced by the court should the other side breach any part of the agreement.
Most disagreements can be solved through negotiation.
