The benefits of Partnering
cannot be under estimated, when set up and undertaken
ideally within an appropriate form of contract and with a true
Partnering culture in place involving all major parties |
|
|
There have been various stages to the
development of Partnering
|
|
Traditional, non partnering -
inefficient and more often than not, not giving the client what he
really needs |
|
|
Transitional Partnering - introducing
the Partnering (or Team) Culture to all major organizations associated
with a project, but not within a Partnering Form of Contract |
|
|
Fully Integrated Partnering - using the
Partnering (or Team) Culture between all parties including an
Integrated Supply Chain, all within Partnering Forms of Contract |
|
|
|
The Partnering environment is very
conducive to achieving best results from all of the other Value
Improvement Practices, and in the monitoring of performance to achieve
Best Value |
|
|
The Partnering environment is also
conducive to achieving best results from Lean Construction |
