Benefits Of Construction Mediation San Diego Service

By Marissa Velazquez


It is possible for disputes to arise between a contractor and his client during construction. These disputes if not well managed can lead to a court case. It is therefore better for the contractor and his client to resolve any dispute through reconciliation. There are many benefits of construction mediation San Diego service over other ways of dispute resolution or civil litigation. Mentioned below are some of the major benefits of this method of dispute resolution.

In comparison to civil litigation, reconciliation is considered a cheaper way of solving differences. Legal tussles are always not cheap especially if prolonged and could result in other negative impacts to the construction company like detention of an employee. Reconciliation is however a better option since it can reach a better solution in a short span of time.

Reconciliation is faster than civil litigation. This kind of litigation cases can take up to a year to get trial. This is because the courts have a lot of uncompleted work which forces more immediate criminal problems into the schedule before any civil matter is handled. Reconciliation on the other hand can be scheduled very easily since the meeting will require setting up the time and place with the other party and the mediator.

During reconciliation, the two parties participate fully and can contribute to their own solutions through expression their opinions and concerns. This is not so during a civil litigation case. The lawyers representing each party seek the interest of their client and are more concerned about winning rather than settlement.

Through reconciliation the source of the dispute is investigated in greater detail and the two parties work together unlike a civil litigation case where they blame each other in front of a judge. The mediator has skills on how to negotiate on problems which involve high emotions. He knows the right words and tone to use when addressing the two parties in the reconciliation room.

Reconciliation looks more into the future and not what has already happened. This is because it is aimed at reaching a settlement and giving an opportunity to the warring factions to work together to complete the project. It also allows suggestions for smooth trade in the days to come. Unlike in reconciliation situation, a civil suit ends in a ruling made by the jury which gives no room but to be followed and in most cases only favors one party which could result in enmity.

Reconciliation is confidential in nature and provides privacy for parties involved who do not want their issues to be exposed to the public. The mediator helps the two parties to iron out their problems in an enclosed place and he ensures whatever is discussed is kept secret between him and them. This is not so in a civil litigation case because court proceedings are not private.

In reconciliation, both parties are able to check the background and experience of the mediator unless he is specified in the disputes resolution part of the project contract. Most of the building contractors prefer a mediator specialized in construction mediation San Diego and is fair and just to both parties. In civil litigation the two parties have no option in the choice of the judge and even the jury.
