At Laidlaw Scott we wholly support the principles of entering into partnering arrangements with our clients, we believe that longer term arrangements will ultimately prove to be of benefit to reputable firms that have invested in their workforce in the past only to see their efforts undermined by the so called “black market” in the building industry.

Benefits noted by Housing Associations from partnering contracts include, cost certainties, adherence to deadlines, free flow exchange of ideas, improved working methods and optimal utilisation of local labour and services.
