Join the Partnering Movement by Becoming a Member of IPI
The International Partnering Institute
We are a movement of construction owners, designers, contractors, construction managers and suppliers who are tired of the battles that we experience on our projects. We believe to improve our results that we must change the culture of our industry; moving away from the traditional “war” model to one of partnership. We hope that you will join our Partnering Movement by becoming a member of IPI! Now is the time to push for real, lasting culture change. We can’t accept our old traditions, we must push for partnering to be our way of doing business.
