Descrizione Project Partnering for the Design and Construction Industry
It is no secret that problems in the construction industry can quickly escalate into full-fledged conflicts; adversarial positions taken by the various parties involved in a project routinely lead to disrupted schedules and costly litigation. It doesn't have to be that way. Project Partnering for the Design and Construction Industry provides powerful tools for improving working relationships among contractors, designers, clients, and suppliers. Speaking directly to the construction professional, author Ralph J. Stephenson demonstrates numerous ways to avoid conflict and ensure successful, on-time project deliveries by promoting teamwork, establishing noncontract ground rules for ethical and responsible behavior, and employing a variety of conflict-resolution techniques.
