Overview
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.

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.
