Communication plans are intrinsic to project management. However, the time and cost effects of communication plan choices have largely been overlooked. Herein, we study the impact of three types of communications plans that implement collaborative information technologies (CITs) (i.e., asynchronous, synchronous and both) on the key project metrics of communication cost and project schedule perf...

The construction project is a business full of risk in every process due to its complexity, changes, and involvement from various stakeholders. One of the critical risks in the construction project is in the supply chain. Identifying and assessing the risk with the right tools and methods in that area will inevitably affect the success of the project. Unfortunately, the research for the tools a...

Construction industry has the highest ratio of fatality of workers in comparison with other industries. Construction safety has been always a matter of focus to control safety risks. This article presents a new flexible method of safety risk assessment by adding Hybrid Value Number (HVN) to the assessment equation. As a result of using this method, the results of assessment process will be more...

The limitations of complexity theorizing in project studies are traced back to simplistic and reductionist strategies. This article offers pragmatist recommendations develop strong strategies organized a triad: orders (degree recursiveness the process), levels (interactions between micro, meso, macro loci analysis), integration brought together recursive relationship co-construction. We offer f...

Relational governance is generally concerned with the framework of project governance. However, this still has its limitations, which vary depending on contextual factors. Using transaction cost economics theory, study considers complexity as moderator in studying influence trust most representative factor relational performance. Empirical analysis 302 owners and general contractors a sample re...

Contractors are facing an increasing degree of complexity in their construction projects. Due to inadequately prepared project plans, they have been suffering significant losses during the execution One key disadvantages such plans is that planning process, a mostly defined as linear rather than dynamic and complex process with high uncertainty. Therefore, contractor who phase should consider i...

As the world of Information Technology (IT) engineering becomes more complex every day, formal study project complexity and important for managing projects effectively, to avoid poor performance failure. Complexity is not yet clearly understood nor sufficiently defined terminology itself being overloaded over-used. This paper a systematic literature review that attempts identify classify propos...

Complexity has been identified in both literature and practice as a critical project dimension that needs to be better managed to improve project delivery. Many authors have argued that increasing complexity or the underestimation of complexity accounts for some of the delays and cost overruns experienced on projects. Within the construction industry, the increasing demand for contractors to pl...
