| Title | Multi-stakeholder collaboration in the building sector for building material reuse projects Case-studies in Denmark |
| Summary | Reuse of building materials is gaining increasing interest in Denmark as a result of policy developments. The thesis aims to describe what actors find important regarding collaboration in investigated Danish projects involving reuse of secondary building materials and relate these findings to stakeholder interdependency patterns and institution characteristics of the building industry. Five in-depth case studies were conducted whereby key project actors were interviewed. The thesis includes a literature review on policy developments regarding resource efficiency, on innovation in the building sector, on collaboration, and on learning. Interview results were analyzed using a framework consisting of 9 factors of successful collaboration: shared vision; mutual benefits; sharing risks; ability to compromise; existence of trust; new partnerships and inclusion of affected members of the community; quality and transparency of information exchange; joint decision-making; and available additional resources. The analysis gives insight to collaboration patterns in building material projects. Among others it was found that relationship patterns in the examined cases showed difference in many ways as compared to general relationship patterns in the industry. Results underline the necessity for systemic changes in the industry to facilitate reuse. The description of collaboration in building material projects may be of value especially to industry actors, who wish to engage in reuse. The findings can also be useful for policy makers and may contribute to build further research on the issue. |
