DAB (Dispute Adjudication Board)

A Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) is a specialized group formed to resolve conflicts that arise during large construction projects. It typically consists of experienced professionals who review disputes between parties, like contractors and project owners, and provide decisions to settle these issues promptly. The goal of a DAB is to minimize delays and costs associated with disputes by addressing problems as they occur, rather than waiting for them to escalate into legal battles. This proactive approach helps maintain project timelines and fosters communication between stakeholders.
