Partnering approach - evidence
CIRIA 1999 – benefit of selecting contractors by value rather than just price gives better– Team working– Programming– Design and specification– Care of the environment– Budgeting and management of risk and value
2007 Nichols Report for Highways Agency
• preconstruction time savings reduced by 30-40%
2005 National Audit Office – • subcontractors have more to offer than simply
providing a price for another’s design
