Partnering in the construction process: the method for the 1990s and beyond

Abstract

Demonstrates to the advanced FM professional, who is responsible for large construction projects, how to create a partnering relationship in the planning and construction process. Claims that effective partnering between the three major players – owner, architect and the general contractor – leads to successful projects where claims are minimized and eliminated. The concept of partnering replaces the historically adversarial environment inherent in most projects. Discusses examples of partnering agreements and workshops.
