AIA contracts and Initial Deceision Maker/Dispute Resolution

[Sean Coppom]

Hi all,

Looking to get some feedback on who to use as an Initial Decision Maker (on an AIA contract) for dispute resolution for a construction project in Denver, CO.  For various reasons we don't want to use the architect.  This project consists of 4 townhomes on a single lot, but it would be valuable to hear of others experiences regardless of the type of project.  Specific recommendations or general advice are both appreciated!  Thanks for your time.
