How construction collaboration helps projects?

I don't know how construction projects are managed in India, but it's been my experience in several other countries that, whereas the accuracy of the plans and specifications, the take-offs and estimates, and the budget are all of critical importance...and whereas architects, engineers, project managers and construction managers all have their place in the overall scheme of any project...it is the Site Supervisor or Project Superintendent who really makes or breaks both the schedule and the budget.  And the best of these are individuals with plenty of hands-on experience and maturity rather than the degree'd and credential'd types being cranked out by the universities these days who wouldn't know how to figure out an hypotenuse without the aid of their laptop.  They are the "Master Sargents" of the construction industry and the good ones absolutely essential to the success of any project.

In construction projects ,there are many things need to be sorted out at site itself and if  remain unattended ,the project may not proceed as per schedule.The collaboration helps in iron out the things and bumps are therefore taken care of.

As the owner or general contractor of a construction project one finds oneself, by necessity, in "collaborative" relationships from start to finish.  The question is whether these are de facto associations or simple cases of teamwork OR formal partnerships.  In either case, one should always strive for relationships that only enhance the objective of the project and/or the mission of the company.

Whether one is "shopping" financing, interviewing architects and engineers, evaluating subcontractors and suppliers OR considering entering into a joint venture or partnership for the purposes of the respective project, one must remain focused on the objective/mission.  In other words, who can provide access to the better resources...and even who can provide better access to the essential resources?

Of course, as with so many other things in life, determining the "better" option is not always as simple as it first appears.  There may be a wide variety of intervening variables, not only "up-sides" but "down-sides", to the different options.

In the case of the de facto associations and opportunities for teamwork, one for sure must implement a "pro vs con" evaluation, that is, a risk analysis, where the bottom-line IS the bottom line.  However, in the case of considering a joint venture or partnership where the relationship is likely to be more highly integrated and binding, the bottom-line really becomes whether the other party is absolutely essential to the success of the project OR can one, in fact, effectuate the project successfully on one's own.           

Well said Sir. Emotional bond should develop first. Heigher the EQ in all the parties, greater the chanaces reduction of gap in communication which shall lead to better collabrations. After all, we are all human beings first. 

Action orientation is all the more required by all the memebers to  achieve the objectives.
