Abstract:

A system and method for investigating and mediating construction claims is presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a construction claim can be mediated by fully investigating the details and context of a construction claim; determining the actual causes for the lack of payment; determining the key parties and the available leverage that can be used to achieve resolution; and engaging the key parties and applying that leverage to reach settlement, where one or more of said investigating, determining, engaging and applying is effected via electronic telecommunications or with the assistance of a computer. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a computer-based system can assist a construction claim mediation practitioner in his application of the methods of the present invention to actual cases. Such assistance can include, for example, providing a practitioner with an organized computer-based environment in which to manage his cases, and can, for example, include prompting the practitioner to acquire the necessary information to implement the methods of the present invention, analyzing the case based on built-in intelligence and providing proposed strategies, automatically generating needed letters and emails to send out as well as checklists to help a practitioner stay on top of each case being handled.
