Analysis on CM+Partnering Composition Pattern of Engineering Project Management

Abstract:

In recent years, CM mode and Partnering mode, as two crucial project management modes, have been widely applied to the construction industry in the developed countries. However, domestic research on these new modes is still at the starting stage, lagging far behind the international advanced level. On the basis of an in-depth analysis on the concepts and features of the above two modes, this essay puts forward a new kind of project management composition pattern--CM+Partnering, aiming at drawing on each others comparative advantages. It highlights the superiority of the CM+Partnering pattern through comparing it with traditional modes. Finally it discusses the feasibility of its application in the project management with the aid of a case study. Keywords: engineering project management, At Risk CM, Partnering pattern, composition pattern
