Description: Faster, cheaper, safer construction projects through partnering. Partnering: it's the innovative solution for A/E firms: contractors, subcontractors--even government agencies--to join forces with each other and with employees and clients to slash costs, and much more. Partnering in Design and Construction, by Kneeland A. Godfrey, Jr. expands the narrow single-project definition of partnering to show you how to forge multi-project or strategic relationships--develop win-win relationships with women and minority employees--promote total quality management--and enter successful design-build contracts with design firms. And it's packed with dramatic case histories--from a drilling subcontractor who show how partnering saved his firm's reputation (and $25,000 in rework) to the Denver office of OSHA, whose groundbreaking partnering approach with contractors it calls negotiated rulemaking.''
