“…Nguyen and Waikar (2018) stress the importance of a collaborative culture for a successful implementation of Lean but do not elaborate further on the subject. Ahmed et al (2018) discuss the lack of collaborative culture in UK construction. By looking at the performance of quantity surveyors, they concluded that factors such as persistent practices, inefficient procurement approaches, and narrowed views on collaboration hindered a better collaborative performance.…”

The Norwegian football club Rosenborg BK (RBK) was a well-recognized force in European club football during its heyday in the 1990s. Led by the legendary coach Nils Arne Eggen, they regularly shocked Europe's top teams with great results after implementing a successful philosophy based on collaboration. The importance of collaboration is well-emphasized in Lean Construction (LC) theory, but more discussion about creating a willingness and culture for collaboration seems to be lacking. Therefore, this conceptual paper suggests broadening the existing theory by presenting Nils Arne Eggen's "Best Foot theory" principles through a new theoretical lens. The collaborative "Best Foot theory" is seen in an LC context and discussed with the "Five Big Ideas" presented by Lean Project Consulting, Inc. as the starting point. The "Best Foot theory" expands current theory by giving successful practical examples to create a culture for the practitioners in a performance group to want to collaborate.

This research study looks at how stakeholders collaborate over costing in the UK construction industry. The purpose is to define the concept of 'costing collaboratively' (CC), to widen understanding of collaboration. Post economic recession, more collaborative practices have been regarded as strategies for transforming construction challenges. However, studies have shown that these practices are fading in the UK, because of fragmentation, adversarialism and, clients preference for lowest tender, whilst cost consultants struggles to be involved in collaborative working especially, during costing activities. The primary research used a multiple case study approach, which aggregated data from interviews and documentary analysis (financial business case; costing & estimating manuals etc.). Overall, 23 interviews were captured with cost consultants, lean practitioners, main contractors among others within the building and infrastructure sectors in the UK. The results showed attributes, like target costing, optioneering and all-inclusive value engineering, as relevant constituents of CC. Accordingly, these were used to defined CC as an approach that engaged stakeholders (upstream and downstream) around wider scheme budgets creating a sense of ownership, driving positive behaviours to achieve desired cost outcomes. However, the results also show that although CC is progressing within the multidisciplinary settings, the approach is still driven by price, and a limited understanding continue to affect the wider practice of collaboration in the UK construction industry.
