Innovations to Manage Disputes: DRB and NEC
How do we reduce conflict and litigation in the construction process? On one hand, some industry leaders focus their efforts on improving alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve disputes.

description | How do we reduce conflict and litigation in the construction process? On one hand, some industry leaders focus their efforts on improving alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve disputes. For instance, the American Society of Civil Engineers has introduced the Dispute Review Board (DRB) as a complementary provision to standard U.S. construction contracts and practices. On the other hand, other industry leaders focus their efforts toward making fundamental changes to the way construction contracts are written. The Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers in the United Kingdom has introduced the New Engineering Contract (NEC) to the construction industry as an alternative to presently used contracts. Both of these efforts have proved to be effective in improving communication, relationships, and the management and reduction of disputes. This paper explores the philosophy of the DRB and NEC and compares their success stories as approaches to combating adversarial relationships and rising litigation costs in the construction industry. |
