Abstract
Project delivery involves networks of customers, contractors, suppliers, and various third parties. Previous research has focused on contractual relationships in the direct supply chains, with less attention to third parties and non-contractual relationships. This study develops and tests a framework of relationship strength and its antecedents in the non-contractual relationship of component suppliers and designers as third parties. The intent is to identify factors relevant to enhancing the supplier{\textquoteright}s third party relationships. The results reveal the supplier{\textquoteright}s activeness and technical capability as antecedents to trust, and supplier{\textquoteright}s technical capability and supplier-designer cooperation outside projects as antecedents to commitment.
