Construction has been an industry characterised by disputes, fierce
competitiveness and fragmentation – all major obstacles to
development. Now, however, a relationship-based approach to project
procurement, through partnering and alliancing, aims to bring about
a fundamental change.
This book addresses the critical relationship issues for a more
collaborative and sustainable construction industry. It looks at
how project procurement and project alliancing partner selection
works, and how risk and crisis resolution are managed. It provides
readers with guidance and models on how to put a relationship-based
approach to procurement into practice, drawing on specific
prototypes from an actual, successful project that can be
adapted.
