With the increased dependence on subcontracting in the construction industry, the operational relationship between main contractors and subcontractor plays an imperative role in successful project delivery. Consequently, improving this relationship increases the probability of project success and enhancing project performance. A wide range of research has confirmed that partnering improves the main contractor-subcontractor relationship. Though the positive impact of partnering on project performance is supported by a plethora of evidence, the guiding theory on practical partnering process steps is limited. The study aimed at improving subcontracting in the construction industry through a partnering process relevant to Zambia guided by factors obtained from industry expects. Questionnaire surveys and Semi-structured interview were adopted to investigate the perception of construction industry professionals and academics towards the main contractor-subcontractor relationship along with improvement factors. The findings showed that the relationship between main contractors and subcontractors on most projects in Zambia is unsatisfactory therefore justifying attention. Top factors that can enhance the main contractor-subcontractor relationship were identified. From the factors deduced and guidelines on partnering best practices, a project partnering model was developed.

Accounts of the development of a successful construction project often stress the importance of team relationship, project environment and senior management commitment. Numbers of studies carried out in the past decades indicate there needs to be a change of culture and attitude in the construction industry. In order for a turn around in the industry, relational contracting approaches have become more popular in recent years. However, not all relational contracting projects were successful. This paper details the fundamental principles of relational contracting. It further reports findings of a research currently taking place in Australia, how effective is relational contracting in practice. The problem addressed in this research is the implementation of relational contracting: • Throughout a range of projects • With a focus on client body staff The context within which the research was undertaken is: • Empowerment, regional development and promotion of a sustainable industry • The participating organisations have experience of partnering and alliancing • Success has been proven on large projects but performance is variable • Need has been identified to examine skill sets needed for successful partnering/alliancing The practical rationale behind this research is that: • Partnering and alliancing require a change of mind set - a culture change • The Client side must change along with contracting side • A fit is required between organisation structure and organisation culture Research Rationale: The rationale behind this project has been to conduct research within participating organisations, analyse, rationalise and generalise results and then move on to produce generic deliverables and "participating organisation specific" deliverables. This paper sets out the work so far, the links between the various elements and a plan for turning the research output into industry deliverables.

현행 일괄입찰방식은 분담이행방식의 공동도급형태로 운영되고 있어, 참여업체간의 의사소통 부족으로 설계기술과 시공기술의 접목이라는 일괄입찰방식 본래의 취지를 살리지 못하고 있다. 또한 입찰을 통해 확정된 총액금액으로 설계가 진행되므로 실시설계단계에서 VE활동을 통한 원가절감 노력이 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현행 설계시공일괄방식의 특성을 파악하고 설계VE 적용사례를 분석하여, 설계VE 적용의 문제점이 무엇인지를 파악한 후, 일괄입찰사업 수행절차에서 설계VE 적용의 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 파트너링의 활용방법 및 그 적용시기를 제안한다.

In Singapore, the construction industry's performance in safety has often been the worst among the other industries. This paper seeks to compare the efforts of the shipbuilding and repair industry and the construction industry in improving the level of safety performance. One key factor identified in the paper will be the subcontractors' role in the safety aspect. Based on the analysis of statistic carried out by the Ministry of Manpower of Singapore and many others, this paper aims to identify the success of the shipbuilding and repair industry and gives thought as to how the construction industry can further improve its safety record.

SOC 사업은 그 특성상 규모가 크고 막대한 비용과 시간이 소요된다. 이러한 특성에 의해 SOC 사업의 설계업무도 여러 조직의 복잡한 프로세스를 거처 수행된다. 따라서 일반건설공사와 비교할 수 없는 수많은 정보가 생성ㆍ소멸되며, 정보를 필요로 하는 조직간의 원활한 정보교류가 사업의 성공에 중요한 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 그러나 아직까지 SOC사업의 설계단계에서 정보교류 방법론이 체계적으로 정립되어 있지 않아 정보교류에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 SOC사업의 설계단계에서 설계업무를 원활하게 수행할 수 있도록 참여주체간 필요정보를 규명하여 인터페이스 향상 방안을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 주요내용에는 업무수행 조직 중심의 조직프로세스 개선을 통한 인터페이스 향상 방안, 전문가들의 파트너링을 통한 협력설계 의사결정 방안, 정보표준화를 통한 개방형 설계 정보 통합 시스템 구축 방안 등이 포함된다.
