DRBF is the Global Leader in Dispute Board Advocacy:
Advancing Common-Sense Dispute Resolution Worldwide
We are the premier international association dedicated to promoting and supporting the Dispute Board (DB) process—a proven method for avoiding and resolving disputes in complex projects, especially in construction and infrastructure.
Our mission is simple: to foster practical, fair, and proactive approaches to dispute resolution through the effective use of Dispute Boards. We believe that most disputes can be managed or even avoided entirely when addressed early, guided by experienced professionals, and approached with common sense.
What We Do
- Champion Best Practices: We develop and promote internationally recognized standards and procedures for effective DB implementation.
- Educate and Train: From introductory courses to advanced workshops, we equip professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
- Build Community: Our global network connects DB practitioners, project owners, contractors, and stakeholders committed to collaborative solutions.
Support Projects: We provide guidance and resources to help parties implement Dispute Boards that prevent costly delays and preserve working relationships.
