The construction sector is dynamic and complex. Because of the high level of interaction between professionals of different areas – architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, etc. – several disagreements or disputes can occur during the execution of a contract. Those disputes can pollute the relationships between the parties and severly compromise the execution, with a tremendous financial impact.
Convirgente is the country representative for Portugal of the
Dispute Resolution Board Foundation, an international institution created to promote the concept of "dispute board". A "dispute board"
is a commitee of independant professionals created since the start of the project to:
- Follow the evolution of the project
- Stimulate the adoption of conflict prevention behaviors and processes
- Anticipate and resolve any conflict if it occurs in spite of the prevention mechanisms
