Dispute Resolution Boards (DRB)

A Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) is a group of unbiased experts who help resolve conflicts in construction and large projects before they escalate. Established at the start of a project, the DRB monitors progress and identifies potential issues. If a disagreement arises, they provide recommendations or decisions based on the facts presented. This proactive approach encourages communication and helps avoid costly legal battles and delays, ultimately promoting smoother project completion. DRBs are valued for their ability to facilitate fair outcomes while maintaining relationships between parties involved.
