Abstract
Construction Projects are complex in their nature, which makes them very much prone to
conflicts. These conflicts, which mainly arise due to contractual reasons, affect the projects in many
ways, including delays, cost overruns and poor quality. Recently, the partnering and Alliancing
arrangements have been gaining fame. This paper identifies the major contractual factors causing
conflicts in the Construction Projects, and then by using a questionnaire based survey for a random
sample of 103 construction project stakeholders (Clients, Consultants and Contractors) compares
Alliancing, Partnering and Traditional Contracting for each factor. It is observed that majority of
professionals are in support of Partnering and Alliancing as compared to the Traditional Contracting.
Moreover, Contractors are supporters of Risk Sharing in the Projects, so they are more in favor of
Alliancing, while Clients and Consultants share their view, and support Partnering instead.
