- Description
- Currently in Australia there appears to be two schools of thought with regard to the best way to procure a project using an alliance methodology. They are the pure alliance and the cost competitive alliance models. To establish whether one alliance alternative presents a better option than the alternative a sample of forty-nine managers experienced with alliance projects were interviewed. The context and content of the interview instrument was founded on two earlier independent surveys; a quantitative mail survey to 898 construction personnel in Western Australia and a series of case studies that evaluated the development workshops of recent Australian alliance projects. The stratification of respondents was typical of parties involved with alliance projects. It was balanced across the construction sector comprising; consulting engineers, consulting project managers, contractors, and client representatives. It was found that respondents collectively identified three areas of concern; Value for money, behavioral issues and business as usual factors as those that most differentiated the two models. Finally an appropriate definition of the construction alliance process is postulated.
