Partnerships among Different Participants in Construction Industry of Taiwan: Critical Success and Failure Factors
In a traditional contract environment in the construction industry, the client and construction professionals often develop a Win-Lose mentality in operating projects. This condition often creates conflicts in communication and cooperation, or could even lead to litigations between clients and professionals. The progress of production would thus be affected greatly. Partnering is achieved through the cooperation of both client and professional. With little start-up costs, partnering can create a Win-Win situation for both the client and professionals. Partnering can improve efficiency in construction projects, and is one of the most innovative ways in reducing conflicts in construction project. The purpose of the study was to gather the construction industrys opinions on critical success and failure factors of partnering agreements. The data have been analyzed by use of means and ranking techniques. The study shows that effective communication is perceived as the most important critical success factor in the construction project partnering. Some of the other perceived important critical success factors are technical expertise , consistent with objectives , questioning attitudes and commitment to quality . The study also suggests that in the construction industry, issues being allowed to slide and escalate , lack of continuous open and honest communication , controlling bodys being lack of technical knowledge , stakeholders who dont commit to the partnering arrangement and stakeholders who dont develop a win-win attitude are viewed as the main factors which often cause failure of alliances and partnering.
