“…In addition, appropriate information and communication channels must be ensured. The essence and importance of this investment project area is very strongly accentuated in the work of Kania et al [67], who indicate that a well-designed communication and information sharing system must encompass general information about communication and information flow between construction project participants, problems in carrying out construction projects in relation to the lack of effective communication, the impact of communication on the success of carrying out the construction project, communication costs, and the need to develop a tool (a digital system) that would support construction project managers in the optimal control over communication between project participants. It is important to keep in mind that the environment in which modern construction companies operate is becoming ever more informative [5].…”

The problem with evaluating investment projects is that there are many factors that determine the degree of their successful conclusion. Consequently, there has been an active debate for years as to which critical success factors (CSFs) contribute most to the performance of construction projects. This is because the practice of empirical research is based on two steps: first, researchers choose a particular model from the space of all possible models, and second, they act as if the chosen model is the only one that fits the data and describes the phenomenon under study. Hence, there are many CSF lists that can be found in the literature, owing to the uncertainty at the model selection stage, which is usually ignored. Alternatively, model averaging accounts for this model uncertainty. In this study, the Bayesian model averaging and data from a survey of Polish construction managers were used to investigate the potential of 28 factors describing a diverse set of characteristics in explaining the performance of construction projects in Poland. Determinants of successful completion of investment projects are categorized by their level of evidential strength, which is derived from posterior inclusion probabilities (PIPs), i.e., providing strong, medium and weak evidence.

“…A thorough analysis of communication and information flow within construction projects realized in Poland can be found in the study by Kania et al [67]. In a nutshell, communication and information channels, have a direct impact on the time and cost of a construction project.…”

“…It has been emphasized by researchers (Stojcetovic et al , 2014) that top quality demands higher cost and time, but the practice of reducing the cost and time essential for the implementation of the project affects quality. Unfortunately, the observed quality issues are unrealized although many researchers have stressed upon the importance of the design process and early participation of construction experts in construction projects (Kania et al , 2020).…”

PurposeQuality in the construction industry is an important issue yet ignored during the initial stages of the life cycle of a project, that is, the design and construction stage. The contribution of stakeholders, especially the architects is generally suspended though it has huge significance in terms of cost and time related to quality. This research endeavors to examine the issues related to the design and construction stages of the project from architects' purview, to understand the relative importance of these issues in the Indian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThe study of qualitative data conducted formed a basis for online quantitative data collection that was further analyzed with the help of cross-tabulation and multiple correspondence analysis methods.FindingsThe study concludes that the budget of a project is a corresponding factor related to quality concern for architects. The study also established that the quality issues corresponding to high budgets are closely related to the construction stage and are identified as preparation of checklist, and bidding process of hiring the contractor on the lowest bid.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to analyzing the perspective of architects; however, other stakeholders of the construction industry may represent a different opinion.Practical implicationsThis research emphasizes the importance of the client's role, and need for integration and coordination among stakeholders in the construction industry for effective quality control and management.Originality/valueThe research presents an exhaustive literature review on quality issues and its importance with respect to cost implications, standard practices, sustainability and the life cycle of the project.

“…This paper highlighted 13 articles that show accuracies as one of the communication problems in various construction projects. These articles were written by (Kania et al, 2020;Khoury, 2019;Pandit et al, 2019;Ballesteros-Sánchez et al, 2019;Castillo et al, 2018;Kwofie et al, 2019;Eze et al, 2018;Tran et al, 2017;Yap et al, 2017;Al Mousli and El-Sayegh, 2016;Senaratne and Ruwanpura, 2016;Zulch, 2016;Chalker and Loosemore, 2016).…”

“…Time is considered one of these communication barriers as it is the barrier to creating quicker and faster communication channels. Several articles found that timeliness contributes to significant communication problems in construction projects (Kania et al, 2020;Akunyumu et al, 2019;Kwofie et al, 2019;Eze et al, 2018;Tran et al, 2017;Yap et al, 2017;Al Mousli & El-Sayegh, 2016;Senaratne & Ruwanpura, 2016;Chalker & Loosemore, 2016;Badi & Diamantidou, 2017).…”

Project communication is an important aspect that needs to be stressed in project management to ensure good project delivery in the construction industry. All the key players in construction must represent a good communication flow among themselves to avoid misunderstanding that later will affect their performance and reputation. However, there are still have issues among themselves while communicating. These communication issues are not only happening in Malaysia but in many other developing countries that are involved in the construction industry. However, there are insufficient studies on these communication issues involving project participants. Hence, the present article employs a systematic literature review to determine the issues of communication among project participants in the construction industry. The study was combined many research designs and the review was referring to ROSES (Reporting Standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses) protocols. This research employs a systematic literature review of selected published indexed journals from Web of Science and Scopus. The findings identified several communication issues that can be categorized into different themes, which are; (1) accuracies, (2) timeliness, (3) distortions, (4) barriers, (5) under loading, (6) overloading, (7) misunderstanding, (8) gatekeeping, (9) procedures, and lastly (10) financial. Furthermore, the study also presented several significant contributions for practical purposes and a body of knowledge. The findings also described the importance of good strategies to overcome the communication issues and to look at the potential impact of those solutions on the whole progress of the projects.
