CAP-Home for Home Warranty Disputes
The Construction Arbitration Program for Home Warranty Disputes is a service offered to homeowners and builders to resolve warranty disputes related to new home construction. Local Arbitrators review construction defect claims and other issues provided for in the warranty documents.
The principles of dispute resolution incorporate the notions of balance and fairness, and require:
The decision be made by a neutral party
All parties have the same rights and responsibilities
Demonstration of both the fact and appearance of objectivity
Avoidance of any conflicts of interest
Operation within the rules of the program
Decisions on every matter to be expressed in clear and understandable language
