If successfully implemented Partnering is an immensely
powerful tool that can contribute to successful projects and
programme outcomes and deliver significant improvements in
value for money.
It will only succeed where there is a mature approach to
relationship management and it will require effort and
commitment from both sides to make the relationship work.
It should never be regarded as an easy option!

Its about people relationship, communications, diplomacy and
problem solving

CDM – taking stock

Why the need to justify the CDM approach?

Procuring construction: the case for an informed
client

Paperwork is my shepherd, I shall not want
Approaches to CDM: the good, the bad, the
frankly indifferent, the dismissive and the
downright criminal
Realising benefits
The ghost of CDM still to come
