Are joint ventures the future of the UK's housing delivery?

摘要

The business world is full of well-known joint ventures. Some, such as Sony Ericsson, due to their success and others such as the now infamous Sony Betamax, for their failure. Since the recession the construction industry has seen a significant increase in joint ventures between a range of different companies combining to deliver large-scale projects. Put simply, joint ventures allow organisations to achieve more and deliver projects beyond their own capacity. Large-scale developments, previously out of reach for some, can become achievable with the right joint venture partner, allowing each partner to scale up their delivery while managing their own risk.
