Communication within project-based environments presents special challenges. This is especially true within the construction industry, where interaction tends to be characterised by unfamiliar groups of people coming together for short periods before disbanding to work on other endeavours. Many of the problems that develop in construction projects are a result of both the temporary and inter-disciplinary nature of project teams. This complicates an already problematic communication environment in which technical language, an adversarial culture and noise/distraction all combine to prevent straightforward information flow from one party to another. This book examines communication at a number of levels, ranging from interpersonal interactions between project participants to corporate communication between organisations. Several non-typical perspectives on the process of communication are introduced, to encourage the reader to think about communication in a more innovative manner. The combination of differing perspectives illustrates the diversity of communication problems facing those working within project-based environments.; Practical guidance is provided on possible solutions to communication problems, and a number of examples and case studies are presented.

This book focuses on the development of communication skills in the context of non-traditional procurement and construction projects. It helps readers to understand the fundamentals of non-traditional procurement, and highlights the inherent communication challenges that arise, as well as how to solve them. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which provides an introduction to communication, discussing the theoretical concepts and contextual nature of communication as well as its benefits. The second part goes into more depth, discussing communication in the context of construction project delivery and non-traditional procurement systems, what these two terms actually mean, and what effective communication looks like in these contexts. Part III offers solutions to the inherent challenges of communication, including the use of information and communications technology, while the book’s fourth and final part explores the future of construction communication. Given the scope of its content, the book represents a valuable asset for researchers, professionals and students in the areas of procurement management and construction management.

Construction teams are usually complex, interdisciplinary and temporary, and, as such, the need for effective communication is crucial. However, published data regarding the manner in which individuals interact within the temporary project team is scarce, with little other than anecdotal evidence available. Recognizing this gap, Communication in Construction Teams provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on interpersonal communication and delivers a critical review of various research methods previously used in and outside the construction management field. Making use of Bales' interaction process analysis (IPA), a tool used successfully in many fields to collect interaction data, the text investigates the link between successful projects and the effectiveness of communication, finding that participants in the construction process exhibit regular patterns of interaction and, most significantly, that there are different patterns of interaction associated with successful and unsuccessful projects. Putting forward a number of practical suggestions to assist all actors involved in construction projects, this insightful publication will be of interest to researchers in the fields of building design and construction management.

This book is a wide-ranging exploration of PR and communication in the construction industry, with a strong emphasis on communications theory, strategy and technique. The editors begin with an introduction to the UK construction industry and its supply chains, as well as various elements of PR in relation to the construction process. Subsequent chapters provide a strategic overview, practical examples, success stories, case studies and personal perspectives on PR for different parts of the built environment and reputational issues in construction. Chapters include expert advice on communications for architecture, planning, building consultancy, building products and manufacturers, general and specialist contractors, construction technology, infrastructure and communicating sustainability in the built environment. The conclusion looks at the current and upcoming reputational priorities for communicators in construction, as well as the top ten priorities for implementing PR as a strategic management discipline in the industry. This book is essential reading for all construction PR teams, students studying both for built environment and PR/marketing degrees and CPD courses, and anyone working in the built environment sector who needs to consider PR and marketing as part of their role.

Corporate communications--the way a firm relates to its clients, suppliers, shareholders, competitors and staff--has never been more important. More sophisticated and demanding clients, together with increased competition, have meant that construction firms need to build a sustainable corporate image to support marketing efforts. Corporate communications is a vital management function that needs to be planned in sync with the organisation's objectives and strategies. Until recently, however, the construction industry paid little attention to this aspect of management. This text shows how corporate communication processes and techniques can be managed more effectively, and examines how the general principles can be adapted to the dynamic and often turbulent environment of construction.

The extensive use of roads and highways in the United States results in continuous maintenance and construction activities. Work zones are inconvenient for motorists and dangerous for both motorists and transportation workers. During the period 1997-2002, non-construction highway fatalities remain about constant while highway construction zone fatalities increased by 70%. The most common complaint about construction projects from the general public is the lack of information. Improving communication with the public about construction conditions will allow drivers to make safer driving decisions and will increase their satisfaction with the construction process. The safety and satisfaction of drivers is fundamental to the expansion and maintenance of transportation systems and research that improves that safety and satisfaction is vitally important. This study explores the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) construction communication process and how it can be improved. This study examines data collected from ADOT customers during the State Route 51 (SR 51) project. During the $75 million project, approximately 10 miles of SR 51 between Interstate 10 and SR 101 were renovated to include new high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and rubberized asphalt. Communication was measured by customer utilization of four direct communication channels and four indirect communication channels. Satisfaction was measured by a composite score based on customer satisfaction with traffic, dust, noise, signage, and information during the construction process. Almost all respondents relied upon at least one channel for construction communication and almost 80% of respondents reported using between one and three channels. The most frequently utilized channel was construction signs (55.9%) and the least frequently utilized channel was e-mail alerts (1.5%). Less than 4% of the respondents did not utilize any communication channel. Direct communication channels resulted in higher customer satisfaction than did indirect communication channels. Construction bulletins contributed the most to customer satisfaction, followed by the project web site. Neither television nor radio contributed to customer satisfaction. As sources of project communication, neighbors and friends had a strong but negative effect on customer satisfaction.

The relationship between project managers representing project owners and those on the contractor side is often threatened by communication risk. The main communication risk minimization strategy in the construction phase is trust, which plays a major role in the success of key working relationships across the construction industry. This book investigates this phenomenon, and goes on to show that once developed, trust outshines all other strategies of communication risk minimization and is essential for project success. As part of this investigation, communication risk in construction projects is examined in detail, with a particular focus on the effects of information asymmetry on working relationships. Drawing on many years of empirical research involving project managers working internationally, Trust in Construction Projects also provides strategies to minimize information asymmetries in order to build trust, and ensure the success of construction projects. By increasing understanding of trust in construction projects, this book adds an important new perspective to the fields of construction management and project management. This is essential reading for researchers and students, as well as practitioners in these fields.
