CONSTRUCTION
No two construction projects are alike. National Arbitration and Mediation's (NAM) roster
of Neutrals offer parties highly qualified individuals with industry specific expertise in
diverse areas including, but not limited to, hands-on building and/or remodeling, contractor
license and insurance coverage, construction methods, architecture, home inspection,
building codes, warranties, right to cure and enforcement issues. Identifying and establishing
systems to manage potential business disputes relating to construction issues often-times
can help parties avoid time consuming and costly delays stemming from a myriad of potential
areas of disagreement.
The NAM Construction Dispute Resolution Program offers the following benfits:
NAM can provide a highly qualified panel of Neutrals within 50 miles of any location in the
United States.
NAM Neutrals are practicing specialists with a strong belief in the effectiveness and
efficiency of the arbitration and mediation process. For the most part, they only hear
Construction claims. As such, each case is taken very seriously and the NAM Arbitrators
and Mediators are very aware of the intricacies and deadlines associated with these
types of cases.
All NAM Neutrals are independent contractors and not officers, employees or owners of
NAM. We believe this approach provides the most pristine forum by eliminating any
issues relating to how a decision will affect future case referrals from a client that
has the potential to refer more cases to the arbitration company. By design, we avoid
this potential conflict of interest.
With respect to case administration, we provide the highest level of service as Case
Managers are assigned to each case. These individuals have significant experience in
administrating cases of this nature and they are available to all parties...from the
initial case intake to the conclusion of each matter, thereby ensuring that all
proceedings run smoothly. In fact, NAM clients who have previously worked with other
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers have been very vocal about how well we are
able to ensure that all deadlines are met in resolving their matters.
The NAM fee structure is simple and direct. We do not have "nuisance" charges that, in the
aggregate, can be substantial. In other words, there are no hidden costs.
Unlike other arbitration institutions, NAM does not require a significant upfront retainer to
commence a dispute resolution proceeding. Additionally, our fees are much more affordable as well.
For cases referred to NAM as a result of an existing contractual provision indicating
that the parties have agreed to use mediation or arbitration as the dispute resolution forum.
For the cases in which there is no existing pre-dispute contractual arbitration provision,
but the parties have mutually agreed to use mediation or arbitration as a fair and
cost-effective forum to resolve their dispute.
