Maturity model for strategic collaboration in sustainable building renovation

To enable the construction industry to execute sustainable renovation projects which entails a reduction in use of resources, an increase in productivity and a more socially sustainable construction process, new tools are needed. A maturity model can be a simple and effective tool for a company to evaluate the quality of a process and in recent years a number of maturity models have been proposed to evaluate the construction industry. The construction industry has seen a trend in the last couple of decades towards a higher level of integration of the supply chain and strategic collaboration can now be found in several countries. A maturity model has been synthesized from the examples and experiences of the construction industry based on, interviews, workshops and case studies, to further develop the potential within strategic collaboration. The maturity model can potentially be used as a research tool to analyse why some strategic collaborations are successful and others not. With the model companies in the construction industry are able to make an assessment of their own development potential regarding strategic collaboration and be guided in their further development.
