Partnering and Dispute Resolution Boards (DRBs) are recognized worldwide for their effectiveness in the "real time" avoidance and resolution of disputes on major construction projects. Embraced by government agencies, private owners, and multi-lateral banks, Partnering and DRBs ensure project success through significant decreases in costs and time overruns. Hear about examples of projects where potential disputes were resolved during the construction of the project, instead of waiting till the project is completed. See how Partnering and DRBs facilitate building trust and communication between the owner, contractor, project manager and design professionals. This panel discussion will show how to develop a strategy of using Partnering and DRBs on projects of all sizes and project delivery methods, with the ultimate goal of bringing the project in on time and on budget.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand how using Partnering and Dispute Boards result in avoiding and resolving disputes during construction.
  • Find solutions to build trust between the various stakeholders and be presented with examples of projects utilizing these processes.
  • Understand the basics of how Partnering and Dispute Boards function and specification of clauses for contract preparation.
