Private partnerships

Partnering on construction projects is rapidly increasing as its benefits become more apparent and pervasive. Through partnering and the active involvement of all key parties - clients, contractors, consultants, suppliers and others - projects are far more likely to be finished on time, within budget and with the least number of conflicts, claims and defects.

With its emphasis on commitment, trust, equity, and teamwork and its demand for open communication, partnering solves problems, saves time and money (thus increasing profits), and minimises headaches for all concerned.

The UK construction industry is at last understanding that the competitive tendering process has done nothing to enhance the industry's reputation for its quality of service or the final product. Adversarial construction benefits no-one, acting in the long term directly against the client's interests and ultimately against the interests of all parties involved with the construction process.

Capita Symonds believes that, through partnering, the construction process can be made to work for the benefit of all, reducing costs and construction times, improving or maintaining quality and establishing trust throughout the process.
