“…It is also seen that (Ng et al, 2002;Mosey, 2009), and leads to identify and devise shared goals and objectives (Black et al, 2000;Chan et al, 2003a;Ingirige and Sexton, 2006). This in turn helps to reduce adversarial relationships and build cooperative relationships instead.…”

“…In ECI approach, contractors can use their specialized construction expertise and in-depth knowledge of construction materials, methods and local practice, to develop improved design. In addition to common buildability issues, they are also in the best position of supplying project specific information relating to resources in terms of cost, performance, access and site conditions to support design (Mosey, 2009;Song et al, 2009). Contractors' inputs to design have a direct impact on their own construction performance, in terms of cost, time, quality and safety, since they are responsible for actual construction works (Gil et al, 2001;Jergeas and Put, 2001).…”

“…ECI approach requires open book accounting, and open and honest communication between client, consultant and contractor, including sharing any sensitive information. This gives rise to questions regarding the underlying negotiation/pricing strategy, accountability and probity (Nichols, 2007;Mosey, 2009), and yet ECI approach is seen to be gaining recognition. In this context, the overall research was designed to examine the industry perception on benefits and drawbacks and problematic issues (henceforth "drawbacks" only) of ECI approach, in an attempt to understand why the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the perception of a contractor on early contractor involvement (ECI) type of construction project delivery approach in terms of its benefits and drawbacks. Design/methodology/approach -A questionnaire survey was conducted on various professionals of a contractor, who had extensive experience of working in ECI. Findings -The ECI approach increases the opportunity for better relationships among the parties, which assist the design process from contractor's input and eventually lead to successful delivery of the project. On the other hand, unequal commitment and lack of win-win attitude between the parties are seen as the most important drawbacks that hinder integration in ECI approach. It is also observed that benefits from ECI are likely to outweigh the drawbacks. Originality/value -Construction projects are different, requiring adjustments, even within generic procurement or delivery approaches, in order to build a harmonious team, to allow project participants to work together and deliver an improved project. This study contributes to devising and demonstrating such a strategy, focusing on ECI approach.

“…In many partnering projects, non‐binding documents called “partnering charters” are used. A partnering charter is usually a brief document explaining the agreed upon values, goals, and priorities determined by the parties involved in a partnered project (Mosey, ), signed by all team members to signify their commitment to the process.…”

“…Partnering contracts, however, do also exist and have evolved significantly in the past 10 years. In fact, there are a number of variations to partnering contracts internationally, including; PPC 2000 (i.e., project partnering contracts), GC/Works (i.e., general conditions contracts), Perform 21 (i.e., performance contracts), and JCT (i.e., joint contract tribunals) to name a few (Mosey, ). All of these standard form contracts have specific uses depending on the project.…”

There is an obvious need in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry for improved project team integration through project delivery to ensure improved project outcomes. The literature reports that, among other methods, project partnering, when followed successfully, provides a great opportunity to improve project performance via improved collaboration among key project stakeholders (e.g., owner, designer, contractor) and reduce claims as a result while letting all project members stay in their traditional roles and work under any contractual framework, including design‐bid‐build. Despite its potential and history in the United States since the late 1980s and being classified as one of the best practices by the Construction Industry Institute in 1996, partnering continues to be underutilized. Existing research on partnering is mostly limited to public projects such as mega roadway and bridge projects. Guided by the literature, the aim of this research is to understand and report barriers to project partnering in the United States from both vertical/horizontal and public/private construction sectors. Via a comprehensive literature review, followed by a Delphi survey of partnering experts, this study systematically classified barriers to project partnering. In study results, implementation barriers to partnering during project delivery are more frequently pronounced than the barriers to its adoption. Of the top reported barriers to project partnering, the majority are cultural; project team related barriers show the greatest area of potential for improvement; and contrary to the literature, none is legislative. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by drawing attention to project delivery and management practices in the AEC industry to improve team collaboration and chances of successful implementation and adoption of integrative practices.
