Construction teams are usually complex, interdisciplinary and temporary, so the need for effective communication is crucial. 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), shows how participant...

The book looks back at over a decade of research into architectural management, considers the present challenges and opportunities, and also looks to the future. It provides a review of earlier work and developments as well as setting the theme for new research areas. The book divides into six sections representing topical themes, each section containing two research-based chapters and one practical case study. Case studies will be from six Eu...

Communicating the design intent, from initial briefing through the design stage and on to the actual construction is vital to the success of any building project. This book looks at communication across physical, organisational and cultural barriers with a view to improving the design and construction process.The authors investigate communication issues across physical, organisational and cultural barriers and present clear guidance and practi...

aeo Why are buildings detailed the way they are? aeo Why do architects and engineers seem to come to the same kind of solutions to their detailing problems? aeo Are we satisfied with such a situation? With environmental concerns so high on designersa agendas, the answer to this third question has to be a noa .
