LEE ANN DAUPHINOT, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
I agree that Northwest’s petition for writ of mandamus should be dismissed. I *853also agree that we should reverse the trial court’s order denying arbitration as to the claims between Northwest and the subcontractors and remand to the trial court with instructions to compel arbitration on those claims.
I dissent, however, from the majority’s conclusion that Oak Partners met its heavy burden to show sufficient prejudice to overcome the strong presumption against waiver of arbitration.1 I would therefore reverse in its entirety the trial court’s order denying arbitration and remand this case to the trial court with instructions to compel arbitration on all claims.

. See In re D. Wilson Constr. Co., 196 S.W.3d 774, 783 (Tex.2006); In re Vesta Ins. Group, Inc., 192 S.W.3d 759, 763 (Tex.2006).
