COMPLETION DISPUTE SERVICE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH DISPUTE BOARD

Abstrak

Disputes in construction services often become obstacles to effective and efficient project implementation. Dispute Boards offer a more proactive and preventive approach to conflict resolution than traditional litigation or arbitration methods. This study evaluates the role of Dispute Boards as an alternative mechanism for resolving disputes in construction projects, focusing on their effectiveness, implementation constraints, and strengthening of regulations supporting this mechanism in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach and empirical analysis, this study reveals that the Dispute Board is able to prevent conflict escalation through quick and consensus-based decisions, thus minimizing the risk of project delays. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as minimal recognition in national regulations, relatively high costs, and lack of understanding of this mechanism by stakeholders. This study recommends the need for regulatory updates, professional capacity building, and wider socialization to maximize the implementation of the Dispute Board in resolving construction disputes.
