Building upon the experience gained during the completion of past projects, the creators of this document intend for this Guide to contain practical and specific recommendations, best practices, and resources for all important phases of projects to assist Owners, Architects, Constructors, and all construction team members to enable higher levels of collaboration.  Specific case studies are also presented that highlight the collaborative principles utilized, and the values recognized, on projects that have achieved high levels of collaboration.

Our hope is that this Guide will encourage and facilitate higher levels of collaboration on all project types, regardless of delivery method and size of project, which will result in truly collaborative and successful construction projects.
