Construction Mediation
A certified mediator who also understands the work — bringing construction-management depth to the negotiating table for owners, general contractors, and counsel.
Resolution that understands the work
As a Supreme Court of Virginia certified mediator (J&DR, GDR) and member of the Virginia Mediation Network, I help construction parties reach resolution before a dispute hardens into a trial.
The difference is background: having spent 45 years in construction management and 20 years as an expert, I can follow the technical detail of a defect, cost, or schedule dispute — and keep the conversation on what the parties can actually control.
- Confidential, non-binding, and structured to stay below litigation costs
- A neutral who can follow the technical record, not just each side’s position
- Written terms of resolution the parties can sign with confidence
