- No long term commitment
- Often used for pilot schemes
|
| Strategic Partnering |
|
- Between two or more parties
- Long term agreement for more than one project
- Continual improvement

| Accelerating change is the follow up to and builds on and reaffirms the principles set out in “rethinking construction” launched in September 2002. The targets set out are designed for the UK construction industry to realise maximum value for all clients, end users and stakeholders and exceed their expectations through the consistent delivery of world class products and services. |
|
| “By the end of 2004 20% of construction projects by value should be undertaken by integrated teams and supply chains and 20% of clients activity by value should embrace the principles of the clients charter. By the end of 2007 both these figures should rise to 50%” |
|
| Targets for recruitment and retainment of a quality workforce addressing skills shortages, sustainability, health and safety, small medium sized enterprises also are included. |
|
| The public sector as a client represents 40% of construction orders so has significant interest in getting best whole life value from construction if it is to demonstrate that it is spending taxpayers money effectively and efficiently. The public sector should demonstrate that it is a best practise client, and to this end government funding of construction projects is linked to the application and achievement of ‘rethinking construction’ principles. |
