Nowadays, professionals in the construction industry are looking for ways to address issues before they evolve into formal disputes. This is where Dispute Avoidance and Resolution Boards (DARBs) come in. DARBs, which typically consist of one or three highly experienced neutral professionals with relevant expertise, are uniquely positioned to provide real-time issue resolution at any point in a project’s lifespan.

A Dispute Avoidance and Resolution Board (DARB) is not simply another name for arbitration or mediation. It is a separate process in place when a project starts, designed to help prevent construction disputes from escalating while preserving the option to use other dispute resolution methods if needed.
