The phases in partnering

Best Practice for Partnering follows an established procedure and is divided into three overall phases with a number of workshops. The benefits of partnering are combined with a contract agreement, so budget and schedule are agreed before construction begins.

Phase 0: Sale

• the team is selected based on close dialogue with you 
• a partnering agreement is worked out which establishes the framework for the further process

Phase 1: Specifying

• the extent of the project is assessed in relation to quality, time and budget
• mutual trust is built between all participants, and important focus areas are prioritised in close collaboration with the other stakeholders
• all parties sign a binding contract agreement

Phase 2: Execution

• the collaboration is evaluated, and new participants in the team are informed about special focus areas in the project
• construction starts, and the demand for a high information level is in focus throughout the process.
