The role of
the Dispute Board is to help avoid or resolve disputes within the constraints of the contract and the Dispute
Board procedure. It is not there to replace the day to day decision making and management exercised by the
Contractor, the Project Manager/Engineer or the Employer. For instance the parties may ask the board to decide a
dispute over two drawings that contradict each other. The Dispute Board will decide which of the two drawings
reflect the contractual obligations of the parties. The Dispute Board will not tell the parties which drawing
should be built because once the dispute board has declared the contractual obligation, if the Engineer wants
something else building he can instruct a variation.
