An overview into the concept of partnering 

 -  The International Project Management Association,  2003 
<br/><br/> This paper examines the relatively new concept and philosophy of partnering, as a response to client demand within the UK construction industry. It is suggested that partnering improves productivity, lowers costs and provides the product of construction to satisfactory standards and time. The concepts, philosophies and definitions of partnering, as observed by a number of leading researchers, are stablished, as are some of the practical responses observed currently within the private and public sectors. It is concluded that there are identifiable ingredients of good partnering practice, but the partnering remains in an evolutionary phase. Whilst claims for huge savings in terms of cost and time have been made, it is held that it is too early yet to conclude that these are the direct result of partnering. Meanwhile, it is noted that methods that motivate good practice are emerging
