Abstract

Effective management of unforeseen events at the post-contract stage needs the combined efforts of all major contracting parties in a collaborative teamworking manner, where the motivation of project participants plays a critical role. This in turn requires selection of appropriate 'partners' with an emphasis on their 'soft' qualities, to work under flexible contract conditions with suitable adjustment mechanisms and appropriate teambuilding protocols that would all be suited to a particular project. These conceptualized needs are discussed in the present paper, along with the summarized results from a series of recent Hong Kong based studies. Finally, a preliminary model for building a coalesced team comprising owners, consultants, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers is presented.
