Communication in Construction Teams
Stephen Emmitt Taylor & Francis, London, UK 0415366194 978-0415366199Construction teams are usually very complex and temporal groupings of actors that rely on interdisciplinary interaction for the realization of project goals. The costs of delay and inefficiency associated with poor coordination and communication is a constant factor, and it is well recognized that the development and maintenance of effective communication within teams is crucial to successful project outcomes. However, published data regarding the manner in which individuals interact within the temporary project team is scarce. Managers and researchers have little other than anecdotal evidence on which to develop effective tools and methods to facilitate communication and hence improve the performance of the project team.
