Abstract

The recurring poor performance and lack of collaborative culture in the UK construction industry has been a topic of debate for many years now. This has triggered an industry wide demand for performance improvement and innovation in the construction sector. Several studies over the years have reported and linked these concerns to fragmentation, deep-seated cultural resistance and negative commercial behaviours among project participants. Traditionally, Quantity Surveyors (QSs) within the UK system are popularly known for their commercial management functions i.e., contract advice and cost related roles. But, the lack of evidence on collaborative practice across the commercial roles often performed by the QSs in practice has revealed a separation within the construction model where QSs are formulated outside the core project production team (client, designers, and constructors). This continues with further practical implications like process waste, value loss, conflicts among others. However, recently, there were calls for industry-wide modernisation with an appeal specifically on QSs to create positive link within the value chain as against being a burden to it. Based on a literature review and a case study approach, the study further discovered other commercial factors deterring collaborative practice that is emanating from QSs position outside the production system. These factors among others are: commercial background &training, customer &safeguarding practice, excessive monthly reporting & commercial governance and balancing standards with innovation.

评估工料测量师与协同项目交付系统冲突的原因
多年来,英国建筑行业反复出现的糟糕表现和缺乏合作文化一直是一个争论的话题。这引发了整个行业对建筑行业性能改进和创新的需求。多年来的几项研究报告了这些担忧,并将其与项目参与者之间的分裂、根深蒂固的文化抵制和消极的商业行为联系起来。传统上,英国体系内的工料测量师(QSs)以其商业管理功能而闻名,即合同咨询和成本相关角色。但是,缺乏跨商业角色的协作实践的证据,在实践中通常由qos执行,这揭示了构建模型中的分离,其中在核心项目生产团队(客户、设计师和构造者)之外制定了qos。这将继续产生进一步的实际影响,如过程浪费、价值损失、冲突等。然而,最近有人呼吁全行业的现代化,特别呼吁质量体系在价值链中建立积极的联系,而不是成为价值链的负担。基于文献回顾和案例研究方法,该研究进一步发现了其他商业因素,这些因素来自生产系统之外的QSs位置,阻碍了协作实践。这些因素包括:商业背景和培训,客户和保护实践,过多的月度报告和商业治理,以及平衡标准与创新。
