About This Document: The construction business has never been simple. However, over the last 30 years it has become more complex and, unfortunately, litigious. Multiple parties, 500-plus page contracts in which the owner endeavors to transfer the risk of every contingency to the contractor (even those not within the contractor's control), unstable economic conditions, are just some of the conditions that have made construction projects ripe for disputes. Then, there are risks inherent in the construction process that also foster conflict, for example, unforeseen conditions and force majeure events. It is clear that a real-time dispute resolution option that gives the owner and contractor (the contracting parties) control over the process, the costs, and the outcome, is better than traditional dispute resolution options. One option that fits this bill is a dispute review board (DRB). Basically, DRBs encourage owners and contractors to work together towards successful completion of their projects without interference by any outside decision makers.
