MC Industrial embraces a partnering approach, believing that the owner’s best interests are served when MC Industrial is a full-fledged member of a total project team that is focused on success. By formalizing a long-term alliance among all parties in the project delivery team - this organizational process can encourage progress toward separate but complementary objectives.
This collaborative effort focused on shared goals can result in improved construction approaches, better adherence to the project schedule, enhanced communication, higher quality of work and, perhaps most importantly, cost savings. As MC Industrial enters into a partnership process, we strive to:
- Promote a “win/win” approach to the project
- Encourage better understanding of all parties’ needs
- Generate pride in being associated with a successful project
- Improve team communications
- Develop problem-solving methods
- Enhance team interaction and eliminate adversarial relationships
- Our approach to a partnering process will the team includes:
1. A formal conference with the entire team to establish a cooperative working relationship. During this session, we develop a firm understanding of the goals of the various organizations and team members involved.
2. A half-day of reviewing and redefining the team’s goals and objectives.
3. A comprehensive partnering session including subcontractors and suppliers. In this session we review the scope of work, reach mutual agreement as to the mission of the team, establish lines of communication and a problem-resolution process, and address any outstanding issues.
4. Half-day “re-dedications” to renew commitments to the partnering process at several intervals.
5. Continuous evaluation to ensure participation and address issues as they arise.
What makes partnering work?
- Real commitment to each other and to the project’s objectives - success is mutual
- Relationships based on trust, respect and shared information
- Investment in partnering by all members of all participating organizations
- Continuous focus on improving the collaborative process among team members
