Key Practices Circumscribing the Construction Complexities: Challenge for Chinese Construction Industry

This research contribution has been drafted to explore the basic complexity traits which trigger the construction projects towards complex premises. Complexity cannot be avoided during project execution but it can be managed by rehearsing key construction management practices. This research determines the impacts of key practices on construction projects in Chinese economy. To address the primary aim, a survey was conducted to determine correlations between variables. The analyses has evoked that weak design verification, business politics, ambiguities among stakeholders, ignorance of user inputs, lack of trust among stakeholders, commercialized glazing of construction industry and bureaucratic environment are major items of construction complexity continuum which make the construction projects complex. The key practices positively related to construction projects. Project managers from Chinese construction industry participating in this research are agreed that these practices are necessary to achieve optimal environment for executing construction projects.
