About

About

Welcome to Constructive Mediation. We offer a global online mediation service.

 

Established in 2023, we fuse together decades of experience as Chartered Surveyors in the construction and property industries, alongside a wealth of  experience acting as accredited mediators. We have experience sitting at all sides of the table, acting as clients, consultants, contractors, agents and designers.

The construction and property industries are historically fraught with conflict and disputes. We have witnessed first hand the vast human and financial resources that companies in dispute can use up. We've seen great business relationships ruined and reputations tarnished.

Our goal, first and foremost, is to have a positive impact on our industry; we believe we can prevent many disputes going to litigation, save vast sums of money being 'wasted', save time and rescue relationships.

WHAT IS MEDIATION

Mediation is a sophisticated and structured process wherein an impartial third-party mediator facilitates dialogue between disputing parties, guiding them towards a mutually agreeable resolution. Rooted in principles of confidentiality, voluntary participation, and self-determination, mediation emphasizes constructive communication, collaboration, and informed decision-making. In the intricate realm of the construction industry, mediation serves as an indispensable tool, navigating complexities with discretion and professional acumen to forge solutions that honor the interests and objectives of all involved parties.

HOW could it benefit you

Mediation in the construction industry offers a multitude of benefits for our clients:

  • ​​Cost-Effective Resolution: Traditional litigation can be expensive and time-consuming. Mediation often provides a more affordable and expedient path to resolution, saving clients both money and time.

  • Maintained Relationships: Construction projects thrive on longstanding relationships. Mediation promotes a collaborative approach, preserving and often strengthening relationships, which is crucial for future partnerships and collaborations.

  • Confidentiality: Unlike court trials, mediation proceedings are private, ensuring that sensitive details of disputes remain confidential.

  • Control Over Outcomes: Parties have a direct say in the mediation outcome, allowing for flexible and tailored solutions that are often more satisfactory than court-imposed decisions.

  • Expert Insight: Our mediators have extensive knowledge of the construction industry, ensuring that both parties are understood, and resolutions are informed and fair.

  • Reduced Stress: Litigations can be stressful, both mentally and emotionally. Mediation offers a more relaxed environment where parties can express their concerns openly and work towards mutual understanding.

  • Efficiency: Delays in construction can be costly. Mediation can help expedite conflict resolution, allowing projects to continue with minimal interruptions

  • Enhanced Communication: Mediation promotes open dialogue, helping parties identify underlying issues and fostering better communication for future interactions.

By choosing mediation, our clients not only resolve disputes effectively but also lay the foundation for future success in the construction industry.
