Ref:
build0008In this dissertation, the Author has investigated how effective Strategic Partnering is within the UK Construction Industry and whether partnering represents the most significant development to date as a means of improving project performance. It will examine the current relationships between the main contractor and the client, and whether win-win solutions occur for both parties. To evaluate the effectiveness of partnering within the UK Construction Industry, a literature review was conducted to determine and establish the details of the topic area. This showed that there were problems within the industry, many reports highlighted change as a way forward, and partnering was highlighted as an option. Partnering was not a new concept; having defined the concept, the strength and weaknesses of partnering were assessed to develop the aims and objectives established within the dissertation. Interviews were then conducted with two respondents and their responses analysed in conjunction with the aims and objectives. The respondents seemed to embrace the partnering concept; they understood the ideas behind partnering and the objectives that were to be achieved. There were differences of opinion on several partnering concepts and the definition of partnering itself and the way forward. It is for this reason and the findings of this dissertation that the author feels that partnering is a way forward within the construction industry, but it will take time. The partnering relationship will develop but there are many hurdles and parties need to develop trust and understanding to fully benefit from the successes of partnering.
