Partnering at the Naval Facilities Engineering Command: An Effectiveness Study

Abstract

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command is actively involved in partnering in an attempt to cut costs on construction projects and litigation. Partnering also affects many other areas throughout construction project administration. A survey of construction contract administrators indicates that opening lines of communication through partnering has helped most in the areas of working relationships, customer involvement, and schedule adherence. Project administration, submittal processing and construction quality are also enhanced. Partnering has minimally affected contract modifications and the number of unresolved issues. Survey results also reveal the potential for an increase in value engineering proposal submissions and subsequent acceptances.
