Dispute Board in Construction Services: A manifestation of the principles of quick, simple, and affordable dispute resolution

The Dispute Board (DB) was formed to resolve construction disputes. However, the regulation of the DB in the Construction Law is far from adequate in manifesting the principle of quick, simple, and affordable dispute resolution. Few norms have manifested the principle: (1) no opportunities to resolve disputes through litigation and (2) regulate a period to file an objection towards DB’s decisions. However, there are few critics: (1) The concept of DB is unclear, (2) no period for the DB to make decisions, and (3) the option to solve disputes through mediation, conciliation, or arbitration is still available. 
Keywords: construction services; dispute board; alternative dispute resolution
