Negotiation: Including a clause that requires parties to engage in fair negotiations may resolve misunderstandings. It may be worthwhile to outline a specific process such as electronic communication.
Mediation: Agreeing to work with a designated third party offers both sides a neutral opinion about facts and reasonable ways to move forward.
Expert Evaluation: Another process that is generally not binding involves enlisting a construction expert. This mutually agreed upon person can provide a concise opinion that highlights commonly adopted industry standards and how they might be applied.
Adjudication: This process formalizes mediation and can be legally binding to some degree. A neutral party with experience resolving construction contract disputes renders an opinion both parties agree to follow.
Arbitration: This process usually involves paying a lawyer, but it may prevent expensive courtroom litigation. An impartial arbitrator reviews facts and documents submitted by both sides. The language in the contract can make the arbitrator's decision legally binding.
