PARTNERING: THE PROJECT TEAM
The concept of partnering focuses the entire project team (Owner, Contractors, Architect and Consultants) on what they do best – providing concrete solutions to the project’s needs. A sensible development growing out of the "Total Quality Management" approach to project management, partnering brings all members of the design and construction team together before a line is drawn. Initial partnering sessions define areas of potential problems and develop means to eliminate their occurrence. Whether the potential problem involves time, money, site conditions, design or construction related matters, they are all addressed by the entire team. This team consisting of all elements of the construction industry brings in-depth knowledge of concerns and means of solution. The early sessions provide a method of working together that carries through the entire project and provides the following benefits:
