Procurement Strategies: A Relationship-Based Approach

by Jane Alan Walker

Procurement Strategies: A Relationship-Based Approach Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Construction has been an industry characterised by disputes, fierce competitiveness and fragmentation - all major obstacles to development. Now, however, a relationship-based approach to project procurement, through partnering and alliancing, aims to bring about a fundamental change.

This book addresses the critical relationship issues for a more collaborative and sustainable construction industry. It looks at how project procurement and project alliancing partner selection works, and how risk and crisis resolution are managed. It provides readers with guidance and models on how to put a relationship-based approach to procurement into practice, drawing on specific prototypes from an actual, successful project that can be adapted.

Synopsis:

This book addresses the key relationship issues of partnering and alliance contracting, drawing on research from a major Australian project, to examine team working and to show how this can deliver built facilities more effectively.
