Abstract
There has been a significant growth in interest in partnering in construction lately. Some of the interest follows the success and of partnering in non-construction fields ranging from pharmaceuticals to professional services firms.
Hong Kong has followed this trend and partnering arrangements can be found among some of the major local players and authorities. This first part of a two-part article looks at some of the general considerations involved in and when to use partnering. Next month in part two the management framework for partnering and some of the legal issues will be looked at and a sample partnership charter will be set out.
