Abstract

Partnering is generally is a commitment by those involved in a project through working closely or cooperatively. It is a concept of the relationship practice between organisations. It usually was based on the reputation of good quality of work done in the industry. Not all Malaysian's construction industry clients exercise the partnering while selecting the contractor in the Industrialised Building System. Failure to exercise partnering will impact the project delay, cost overrun and defect of the product received. The methodology adopted used a qualitative approach. The sampling selected is purposive sampling. The public and private clients revealed the benefits of partnering in the industrialised building system: early completion, cost-saving, quality received, easy to solve a problem and a return on investment in the development projects.
