Conflicts that arise during a renovation can be stressful and costly for both contractor and homeowner. Weak management systems, poor communication, and unrealistic expectations by both owner and contractor are the usual contributors to a dispute between homeowner and contractor.
Most parties elect to dig in their heels exacerbating conflict which leads to litigation through arbitration or court. Litigating means someone else, either an arbitrator or judge, will be rendering a decision on your dispute. Mediating your dispute can save you time, money, and stress and the parties through dialogue settle on an agreement that suits them best. Should you and your contractor not see eye to eye about your project don’t let your dispute escalate. Dispute resolution can help you and your contractor get back to working together.
As an industry veteran and registered mediator with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution, I understand why disputes arise during the remodeling process and as a result can help the parties dialogue towards a resolution they find to be equitable.
In a dispute with a contractor? Want to get your project done and move on? Don’t put off settling your differences and invest in costly litigation. Mediate and get back to work and reduce the stress associated with conflict.
