Construction Mediation A Practical Handbook on Strategy Process & Resolution by Mehak Oberoi

Description

The Construction Mediation Book for Resolving Conflict Without Derailing The Project Construction disputes usually do not stay confined to legal issues. Delay, payment disputes, variation claims, design problems and communication failures can disrupt delivery long before anyone files a formal claim. Practical Handbook on Construction Mediation focuses on resolving those disputes earlier, with sound judgment and commercial sense. Written for lawyers, engineers, contract managers, claims professionals, project leaders, in-house counsel and mediators, the book explains how mediation works in construction disputes and where it can be most effective: when the parties need a workable solution, continued performance or an important commercial relationship preserved. It covers when mediation is suitable, how to prepare, strategy and advocacy, settlement design, enforceability, and how mediation can operate alongside arbitration, adjudication, dispute boards and other project mechanisms. No Grandstanding. No Unnecessary Jargon. No Filler. Just practical guidance for resolving construction disputes with clarity, structure and commercial realism. If you are trying to keep a project moving, restart a stalled negotiation, preserve a commercial relationship or avoid the cost and disruption of full-scale proceedings, this book will help you approach construction mediation with greater confidence and better judgment.
