Research project: Investigating the Management of the Early Stages of the Building Project Life Cycle

Abstract

Information exchange and communication throughout the building project life cycle is essential especially among contractors and project stakeholders. Evidence of project performance has consistently demonstrated that ultimate project success and failure can often be traced back to what happens at the early part of the project life cycle, but our knowledge of how to manage these early  stages of a project's development cycle is often poor.  This research project aims to investigate the inherent stakeholders (project team and supply chain) management and communication processes at the early stages of the project life-cycle, and the impact of a formidable digital information strategy to enhance successful project delivery.
