Almitra provides alternative dispute resolution services for developers, architects, consulting engineers and builders in Canada. With over 40 years of experience, Almitra is uniquely positioned to be the alternative to litigation when conflicts arise. Because of our background in four key areas – Engineering, Developer’s Representation, Community Development and Adjudication, we know that under the right conditions we can be your bridge. We can lower your costs, save you time, assist each party in agreeing on what is fair, and preserve your reputation.
Developers (including municipalities)
We have represented you the developer many times over the last 30 years, and we are not conflicted about our shared goal to avoid litigation. We are not litigators and if ADR fails it means we fail. We want to help you save time and money and, ideally, finish the project with your team intact. We understand how designers and builders think.
Designers & Builders
Design and build was our core business until April 2014. McPhail was Chair of the sub-committee that developed a Guideline designed to avoid litigation through improved communication. Your number one asset always has been and always will be your reputation. We understand and live that reality with you.
Insurers
Disputes turn into litigation when communication breaks down. When you are adjusting a construction dispute you can be confident that Almitra has worn the hat of each of the parties to the dispute many times. We are not conflicted about our shared goal to avoid litigation. We are not litigators and if ADR fails it means we fail.
