What will be an ideal response?
When the negotiating process breaks down, all parties involved move to other forms of dispute settlement. Many owners are adding formal nonbinding mediation clauses in their contracts along with the standard arbitration clauses. Most contractors will not sign contracts without the standard arbitration clause but have no problem when an additional form of dispute resolution is introduced. Arbitration has played a key role in construction dispute resolution. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is the leading dispute resolution group in the country. Many contracts state this organization's name in the contract's arbitration clause.
