Description
The latest research is presented here on both contractual and conceptual collaborative practices in construction. The editors identify common problems faced by the industry and draw out practical implications.
Construction projects are increasingly run in ways that challenge the traditional boundary of the firm - and sometimes also the definition of the project coalition and programme management. And all this in the context of construction firms whose clients demand ever increasing performance improvements and who also want to improve their strategies for greater collaboration to give themselves competitive advantage.
In Collaborative Relationships in Construction the editors identify three main themes: collaborative relationships, operating both in frameworks and within networks of contacts, e.g. relational contracting in partnering, supply chain management and other procurement-driven initiatives.
The second theme is frameworks, both contractual frameworks binding parties together over a series of contracts, and conceptual frameworks used to develop future performance improvement arising from the proactive strategies of firms.
