We don’t just do partnering….

We build truly World Class teams.

What is Partnering?

A process of collaborative teamwork to achieve measurable results through commitments and productive relationships. It’s based on the premise that working together creates success. The Corps endorsed partnering as far back as 1990, saying “Clearly, the best dispute resolution is dispute prevention…By taking the time at the start of the project to identify common goals, common interests, lines of communication, and a commitment to cooperative problem solving, we encourage the will to resolve disputes and achieve project goals.” Now the process is required by ownership groups such as Caltrans, NAVFAC, USACE, GSA,Nevada DOT & many other agencies.

Partnering Creates an Opportunity for:

  • Increase in overall project quality
  • Higher levels and increased awareness regarding safety
  • Decrease in claims
  • Increased contractor profit
  • Improved relationships and job satisfaction
  • Timely issue resolution and less project delays
  • Improved cost controls and efficiencies
  • Projects completed ahead of schedule and under budget

What is Good to World Class™ Partnering Process?

Being “Good” in today’s construction business is not good enough. As Vince Lombardi put it “I am not remotely interested in just being good”. Public construction is going, for the most part, with prequalified bid lists and subjective selection criteria. How you play as a team player is a big part of your reputation and ability to win bids or as an owner, attract lower bids.

  • Today’s sophisticated project delivery systems (CM @ Risk, DB, IPD) demand a highly collaborative processes.
  • A World Class team is the best value tool in terms of managing project cost and risk.
  • Just being “good” does not inspire. Teams want to strive for true project excellence, bring forth pride and, yes, even passion on your projects.
