Project Partnering: A Way to Reduce Claims & Disputes

Project partnering is one of the most effective tools in the construction management process used to deliver successful projects — that complete on time, in budget, safely, with the specified quality, and no outstanding disputes end of job. Construction Managers are frequently leaders in convincing owners to adopt project partnering and must be involved in the entire process for partnering to be successful.

We will discuss results of a study concerning the cost and success of project partnering with respect to minimizing construction disputes.  We will also identify the characteristics, drivers, phases, and elements of successful partnering.  Obstacles to, and potential downsides of, successful partnering are covered along with benefits realized from successful project partnering.

This webinar identifies and discusses eight case studies across the country to discover whether partnering actually reduces disputes, while illustrating the “best in class” partnering results.

Participants will:

• Be aware of what project partnering is and is not
• Understand the characteristics, drivers, phases, and necessary elements required to make partnering a success on a construction project
• Become familiar with the obstacles and potential downsides of partnering
• Be exposed to the costs of partnering on average projects
• Learn about the benefits of successful project partnering based on a number of case studies
• Discover the “best in class” partnering results
