How much does a DRB cost? Does it add value?
DRB costs range from 0.05% of final construction contract cost, for relatively dispute-free projects, to a maximum of 0.25% for difficult projects with disputes. Considering only projects that refer disputes to the DRB or that had difficult problems, the cost ranges from 0.04% to 0.26% with an average of 0.15% of final construction contract cost, including an average of four dispute recommendations.
