This webinar explores Alliance contracting and how owners are using the delivery model to deliver some of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects.
In a post-COVID landscape, governments around the world are exploring multi-billion dollar stimulus packages to help kick start the economy. But as the flood gates open, what is the best way to get projects to market that will provide both a stimulus to the economy and value to tax payers and end users? Recently, Private-Public-Partnerships and Design-Build infrastructure programs have come under pressure from cost and schedule overruns and a risk transfer model that has caused many design and construction firms to rethink their business strategies. For more than 20 years, Australia has successfully used Alliance contracting to delivery billion dollar construction initiatives. This collaborative contracting method is built on the fundamentals of shared risk, no litigation and a commercial structure that caps financial exposure of the design and construction partners. During this next phase of economic activity how can owners leverage this delivery alternative to get shovels in the ground and meet the needs of project stakeholders.
This presentation provides an overview of Alliance contracting, why it is a preferred delivery method for large programs and how it has helped to reshape the Australian design and construction industry.
