LiMa Solutions Shares Construction Defect Litigation Expertise at Upcoming ...
/PRNewswire/ -- LiMa Solutions(SM) has developed a proprietary program for resolving complex construction defect claims and is sharing this new approach at key industry events. The firm uses an unconventional project management program, called Value Engineered-Alternative Dispute Resolution(SM) (VE-ADR), to help clients reach quick and cost-effective resolution on construction defect cases.LiMa Solutions experts are sharing insights about this new approach during presentations at industry conferences and seminars, most recently at the West Coast Casualty Construction Defect Seminar and an Association of Building Contractors meeting. The team will be presenting at the upcoming Powers, McNalis, Torres & Teebagy Annual Seminar on October 20, 2011 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
"Litigation has been the primary means for resolving construction defects for decades, but we've developed a more efficient and cost-effective way to resolve issues. I'm thrilled by the positive feedback our non-traditional approach is receiving when presented and explained in detail," says Edward Martinet, founder of LiMa Solutions.
Presentations by Martinet and his colleagues focus on the following topics:
Construction Defect Case Organization & Strategy Critical Issues in Construction Defects: Technical, Legal, Coverage and More New Technologies for Reducing Construction Defect Claims & Costs Treating Litigants as Stakeholders - A Changing Paradigm Using Neutral Expert Teams in Solving Complex Cases
According to Paul Viau of LiMa Solutions, "We're finding that builders and subcontractors, in particular, can no longer risk the high costs of litigating construction disputes and are interested to learn about an alternative mediation model that helps keep money in their pockets."
The team at LiMa Solutions makes presentations to builders, contractors, mediators, attorneys and insurance carriers to share insight on unconventional ways to manage litigation risk and promote early resolution.

The Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS ...
The Performance Information Procurement System, or PIPS, that was developed by the Performance Based Studies Research Group at Arizona State University is more than a procurement system. It’s also a risk management system throughout the project’s duration.
PIPS consists of three phases. Phase I is the Selection Phase, Phase II is the Preaward Phase and Phase III is the Risk Management and Quality Control Phase. To enhance this Garrison Report, I’ve attached three interviews with Jacob Kashiwagi on PIPS. Each interview discusses one of the three phases. Readers can access those interviews on the left side of the report or go to New Construction Strategies Radio at www.NCS30.com. What follows is a brief outline of PIPS.
The PIPS process is built on the foundation of Information Measurement Theory (IMT), which I have discussed before. However, for those new to the concept, IMT is based on the theory that the more perceptive a person is, the better he can understand a situation and predict the future. He is able to do this because he is perceptive, has experience and knowledge and can look ahead and predict the outcome because he knows what will happen. This is possible because based on the initial conditions, there is only one outcome. Probability creeps into the situation only when people don’t understand the information and can’t accurately predict the outcome. PIPS recognizes the contractor is an expert and, therefore, allows the contractor to control the project because he knows what do for the best results. He avoids making uninformed choices because he knows what to do. In contrast, the owner or non-construction expert would be forced to make decisions that place the project at risk.
Phase I—Selection Phase The purpose of the selection process is to determine the contractor that has the best vision and is best able to pre-plan the project. The system relies on simple and dominant information to differentiate the contractors. By dominant information we mean information that is self-evident and obvious to everyone. By simple we mean information that is not technical and easy to understand. Once the information is dominant and simple, it’s possible to differentiate the contractors.
The selection process has four filters that the contractors must pass through. Each filter helps differentiate the contractors. After passing through the fourth filter, typically one contractor stands alone as the best-valued contractor, but more on that in Phase II.
