Partnering Resources
Disputes cost the construction industry millions of dollars each year.
Project schedules are extended, money is unnecessarily spent and opportunities are lost.
Partnering offers project owners, architect-engineers, construction managers, contractors,
and subcontractors a cooperative, team-based approach to eliminate – or at least
reduce – conflicts, litigation, and claims. This page lists various resources to
support you partnering efforts.
These pages provide a definition of partnering, an explanation of why it
works, and some statistics of the results achieved by partnering projects. It also
contains information on various types of partnering. Click here.
It is important that your intention or desire to partner your project is
made know and agreed to by your potential partners. Often language calling for a
"partnering approach" is included in the pre-bid documents, qualification
documents, specifications, or contract. It might also be included in a letter from one
stakeholder to the others encouraging the partnering approach. Click here to see some examples of partnering language taken from
