Construction Mediation
Even though construction disputes can quickly turn into costly lawsuits, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §154.002 encourages mediation as an efficient alternative to litigation. It is not only legally supported, but it often leads to faster, more affordable resolutions. When the stakes are high, you need a trusted construction mediation lawyer who understands how to guide the conversation and resolve the conflict.
At Wickes Law, PLLC, based in Plano and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and Northeast Texas, mediation is handled directly by attorney Paul Wickes. With over 30 years as a trial attorney and lawyer, he brings the authority and clarity needed to help you move forward. Whether you are an individual or a fellow lawyer seeking a mediator, he offers a seasoned, balanced approach backed by local insight and professional respect.
What Kinds Of Construction Disputes Are Best Handled Through Mediation?
You do not need to battle it out in Northeast Texas court to reach a solution. Common issues handled through construction mediation include:
- Contract disagreements between owners, contractors or subcontractors
- Claims involving construction defects or breaches of warranty
- Delays in project timelines and disputes over responsibility
- Unpaid invoices or conflicts over payment terms
- Disputes involving insurance coverage and indemnity clauses
Even if both sides think the law is on their side, mediation allows everyone to be heard without dragging the case through court. However, the outcome depends heavily on who guides the conversation. That is where Paul Wickes becomes the third voice – neutral, experienced, and focused.
Benefits Of Mediation For Construction Disputes
Mediation offers a private, cost-effective and efficient path to resolving construction conflicts. Unlike litigation, it avoids delays, expenses and public exposure to court proceedings. Parties maintain more control over the outcome, with solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Mediation also preserves professional relationships, helping contractors, owners and subcontractors find common ground without burning bridges. In the Lone Star State, where time and budgets are often tight, mediation provides a faster route to resolution, one that promotes mutual understanding.
