Abstract: Regardless of context and scope, collaboration is consistently attributed to be an essential determinant of success in construction projects. Researches have long been concerned with the issue of poor collaboration, but situational determination of collaborative components has been overlooked. This paper focuses on the situational aspect of different collaborative components. The primary area of potential for improving productivity is within the collaboration between parties - and this is precisely the subject, which this article deals with. To do so, a questionnaire survey was carried out. The questionnaire was distributed electronically to 440 respondents; after sorting a total of 288 valid responses were obtained. The result is a set of components in a model of structures of collaboration that facilitates a more efficient and effective situational collaboration (EESC), it is denoted as target areas structured in type of contract, party and component.
