Alternate Dispute Resolution – ADR
Dear YouDig?
Do you dig Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as an efficient means to resolve construction disputes? All of the AIA documents, and many other forms, offer ADR as an option. We have been caught in the AAA vortex a time or two. There are “Aaaaa’s” swirling all around us!

Dear YouDig?
We have been building large, commercial shopping plazas for decades. We have professionals in place at every layer of our organization. Nearly all of the owners, subcontractors, suppliers and insurance agents we deal with are seasoned and experienced. A lot is happening on every job; and even though everyone is experienced, my biggest concerns are accidents and serious injuries. With all of that experience, why do I worry so much?

Dear YouDig?
We are planning to form an asphalt paving company to be one-hundred percent owned by African-Americans. We heard that we will be able to get more work if we are certified as a minority business in Ohio. What are the steps?

It’s OUR “Field of Dreams”
Dear YouDig?
My girlfriends and I are from Chicago, and we just completed an amazing trip to Cleveland to see our Cubbies win the World Series. We read that YouDig? is based in Cleveland. We were shocked at the incredible hospitality of the people we met and had a blast partying in Cleveland’s happening downtown for a few days. How did we, as long-suffering Cub fans, not know about this well-kept secret? When and how did all this happen in CLE?

Dear YouDig?
Our team operates heavy equipment, and naturally we are always very safety conscious. We are very worried about the current heroin/opioid epidemic. What can we do to minimize our risk?
