With this new book--theonly one of its kind currently available--practicing professionalswill gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of partneringand how to apply them to their construction projects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Successful Partnering\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It is a sad fact that as many as 70% of all construction projectswill result in some kind of litigious action and this, in turn,will result in enormous losses of money, time, and energy for allparties involved.
