Building dispute procedures
We usually strive to settle building disputes through mediation. Mediation is usually the best way to settle a building dispute, avoiding tribunal hearings and courtrooms. Mediation is a fairly straightforward process in which the parties and their lawyers meet with an objective mediator who will work through the case with a view to finding a suitable solution.
