2. COMMUNICATION
There are different communication instruments, such
as:
e-mail
document
telephone
meeting
contracts
specifications
reports
manuals
schedules
calculations
3. COMMUNICATION
drawings
computer files
Disks
print-outs
photographs
agenda’s and minutes of meetings
The management of documentation and
communication used in a project is used by a
number of subcontractors, the storage and
retrieval thereof for further use.
4. COMMUNICATION
STANDARDISATION OF COMMUNICATION
The main purpose of standardisation is to
develop a specific level of conformity.
This process of standardisation has certain
advantages for the management of a project,
such as:
Less different documents.
Revised drawings overtake the other
drawings.
Records are easy to handle.
5. COMMUNICATION
Training is simpler and more uniform.
Communication planning and especially
-control is simpler.
Better utilisation of documents and the
compiling thereof.
Easy to use in one project or another,
although these are totally different
projects.
6. COMMUNICATION
Standardisation contributes to
increased productivity.
The documents and communication
from one project to the next are the
same or similar.
Therefore less confusion is created.
7. COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION PLAN
Communication planning brings the
project together.
The project manager and head office
staff are at the heart of the project’s
information and control system.
It is the project manager’s responsibility
to develop the project organisation
structure.
To develop the project’s communication
plan and lines of communication.
8. COMMUNICATION
The communication plan should outline:
Who is responsible for lines of communication?
Who is the sender and who is the receiver?
What are the scope of communication and the format
adopted?
How the message, drawings etc are send to all parties
interested.
What method would be the most appropriate? Is it:
e-mail
document
telephone
meeting
9. COMMUNICATION
presentation
Feedback (confirm message received
and understood – document control)
Filing system:
retrieval
storing
disaster recovery
12. COMMUNICATION
Informal communication
In the construction industry, the
following are informal communication
methods:
Regular contact-face to face
E mailing
Phone call
Team Meetings
14. COMMUNICATION
To achieve goals, it is necessary to
communicate or interact at various levels of
the organisation.
This is known as internal communication.
Members also have to communicate with
individuals or groups who are not members
of the project.
This is referred to as external
communication.

21. COMMUNICATION RANKING-
RESULT OF A SURVEY
Bivariate/ inferential analysis
Bivariate/ inferential analysis
examines the relationship between the research
variables and case studies
by applying correlation coefficient and chi-
square test
development of a hypothesis and sub-
hypothesis
22. COMMUNICATION RANKING-
RESULT OF A SURVEY
16 case studies with a high level of
productivity.
16 case studies with a low level of productivity
were investigated in the London area.
All of the construction firms who participated
in the case studies are involved in providing
homes for Housing Associations.
23. COMMUNICATION
In order to test the hypothesis and sub-
hypothesis the following technique was used:
Data from the 32 case studies is fed onto a
spreadsheet containing all the information
that is related to site productivity.
Communication was also amongst collected
data.
The rating for communication was set from 1
to 5.
Scale 1 is least and scale 5 is rated as best.
24. COMMUNICATION RANKING-
RESULT OF A SURVEY
The relationship between influencing
factors and the productivity level is tested.
The correlation co-efficient and the chi-
square test was used.
Output from the analysis is tabulated and
highly significant factors affecting
productivity was ranked (see table below).
