About the Book

How to reap the enormous benefits of this dynamic newpractice

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERING

Fundamentals for Project Owners and Contractors

In the tightly budgeted and competitive business environment of the1990s, firms involved in construction projects can no longer (ifthey ever could) afford the suspicions, squabbles, and evenlitigation that have afflicted far too many projects. Thisenlightening book shows project owners, construction professionals, and others how to implement the recently developed practice ofpartnering as a more efficient, cost-effective, and far lessstressful way of planning, organizing, and completing constructionprojects. Adopted by such organizations as the Army Corps ofEngineers, its growing number of converts have reported fewerdelays and lawsuits and other benefits, including a morecooperative and focused work atmosphere. With this new book--theonly one of its kind currently available--practicing professionalswill gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of partneringand how to apply them to their construction projects.

Successful Partnering

It is a sad fact that as many as 70% of all construction projectswill result in some kind of litigious action and this, in turn, will result in enormous losses of money, time, and energy for allparties involved. In the hope of avoiding this debilitating drainon resources, many construction-related firms have adopted therecently developed practice of partnering. In partnering, allparticipants work together and accept joint responsibility for thecompletion of a project. Successful Partnering shows you how toinitiate and build partnering relationships in your projects, andhow, with a united management agenda, a construction team can focuson problem solving instead of fault finding.

Written by two recognized authorities on partnering, this uniqueguide takes you through the process of partnering, giving youinvaluable insights from the perspectives of principalparticipants. By examining the case studies and numerous examplesthat illuminate the text, you will learn from the inside what worksand what doesn't, and how to maximize your chances of establishinga successful partnering relationship. Specifically, this bookprovides insights on such important issues as:
* Why partnering is becoming a rapidly growing practice in theconstruction industry and what the benefits are for owners, construction contractors, architects, engineers, and others
* How to lay the foundation for partnering: testing for goodcontracts, good teaming, and good partnering
* The fundamental principles and mechanics of partnering, includingthe roles of the facilitator and the trainer
* Legal aspects of partnering
* The personal and group dynamics of partnering and how they affectcreative problem solving and efficiency

Successful Partnering is an indispensable guide to a practice thatis revolutionizing the way construction projects are beingorganized and completed. Written for all those involved in thecomplex work of construction--engineering, design, and constructionmanagers; as well as lawyers, accountants, and suppliers, Successful Partnering is a lucid introduction to an important newdevelopment in construction management.
