Abstract: (7391 Views)
Partnering is the master key element for project quality. It opens the doors to commitment
and communication between the parties and provides the mastic which turns disparate groups with
varying aims into a coherent team with common objectives (Baden-Hellard).There has been
considerable business emphasis placed upon the development of collaborative relationships across
companies in recent years. Construction is no exception. The presence of trust in the relationships
has been cited as central to successful business and project outcomes (Partnership Sourcing Ltd.
1994, Latham1994). Trust is central to the development of non- adversarial business relationships,
and hence provides fertile ground for the development of practices such as partnering, strategic
alliances and supply chain management.The paper focuses upon the partnering concept in
construction and discusses the role of trust as a key dimension for reducing adversarial relations in
project working environments.
