When does a Dispute Review Board typically convene?

A Dispute Review Board typically convenes after a dispute has arisen. This approach allows the board to evaluate and address specific disputes as they come up during the course of a project. The primary purpose of the board is to provide timely resolutions to conflicts that could delay project timelines or escalate into larger legal issues. By convening after a dispute has arisen, the board can analyze the circumstances surrounding the disagreement and provide recommendations or decisions that are aimed at resolving the matter efficiently.

While a Dispute Review Board may be established before the project starts to lay down the framework for handling potential disputes, they do not actively convene until there are actual disputes that require their intervention. Therefore, it is essential that the board is available to address conflicts as they occur to prevent escalation and maintain project progress.
