Emerging Trends of the Owner-Contractor Relationship for Capital Facility Projects: From the Contractor Perspective

Abstract

This thesis analyzes and documents the emerging trends and the changing nature of the contractor-owner relationship for capital facility projects from the contractor perspective. Specifically, this document will focus on how the outcome of capital facility projects are affected by human resources practices, and the management principles and practices of the contractor-owner relationship during performance of capital facility projects. Additionally, information will be provided to highlight the trends of how both collaborative and non-collaborative relationships impact the successful completion of a capital facility project. The intended purpose of this research is to provide the contractor-owner organizations with current trends and possible recommendations for future decision making which will help to enhance the performance of firms as they work more closely with one another.
