"We have now introduced and trained over 3,000 executives and construction craftsmen across the United States in the principles of partnering and total quality management." "On a 500,000 s.f. corporate headquarters complex in Tampa, Florida, we documented a savings of over $2 million in rework thanks to the planning implemented during our partnering sessions." "We have been recognized nationally three times for the team building and productivity that was a result of your leadership on our projects." "On a current corporate expansion project with a $200 million plus budget, we are exceeding budget and schedule expectations and achieving cooperation on an unprecedented level, which we are referring to as Level 3 partnering. I truly believe that we are leading the industry in this regard." "The overall savings as a result of rework reduction equated to a 4 percent savings on labor project wide or $320k. This can be attributed to high moral due to improvement in communication, application of "lessons learned," and better cross trade coordination. All of which result in higher levels of quality and productivity." "Thanks, in part, to your leadership on this last project, we anticipate returning almost $10 million to the owner that instead of being spent on redesign or rework can now be incorporated into betterments for the project." "The team worked together to ensure a solution that incorporated the concerns of the entire team. Typically, we would see a single entity maneuvering for a position of superiority and pursuing the win-loss strategy of doing business. Through the partnering process, we elevated the team concept to all parties in order to achieve the advanced concept of win-win." "I really appreciate the process of partnering that you taught us. I had no idea of what was being talked about when I was told to attend the first session. Your ability to lay out the process and especially to keep both the agenda and the people focused is admirable." "The process we followed in the close-out phase dramatically reduced the amount of punch list items which gave the owner the building he wanted on time. It also produced tremendous cooperation among the trades on the job which gave them bottom line benefits and great pride in their work." "We have won the Marvin Black Partnering award for our last three buildings. Thank you for your guidance through this process." Back to SP3 main page | Download the extensive article by Larry Levin
