“…The review does not aim to develop or argue the validity of present practices, nevertheless to categorize and assemble the present practices to generate a universal coordination factors in construction industry and other industries as well. While some of present studies has recorded a few coordination approaches, they differ in terms of area, contributors and business [8,10,[16][17][18].…”

“…Studies have discussed the relationship between the time spent on coordination process and the project performance. Although Hegazy, et al [16] found that, holding one or more coordination meetings per month during the design stage reduced the cost by 35%. On the other hand, Hossain [17] reported, project performance did not improve significantly beyond a certain degree of interaction.…”

“…The first one refers to those features that answers 'what is' and 'how to' achieve efficient coordination process in construction. The second, refers to merit that may improve the framework but are not critical [8,16]. The next phase in the framework creation procedure was to form a diagram that measured the entire vital and the smart requirements deliberated.…”

Abstract. Construction industry is recognized as high fragmentation, low efficiency, cost and time overruns in contrast with other industries. These peculiarities are the main roots of poor performance facing by the industry. Effective coordination is vital in construction projects success and mitigate the fragmentation dilemma, however it is often difficult to achieve and need iterative process. Coordination is core issue to improve performance in construction project. Relevant studies have addressed the coordination process importance and implementation, but not in a framework. This paper propose a framework for coordination process in construction projects, as well as its relationship with performance. The objective of the framework is to provide a roadmap for the construction parties to realize operational excellence so that collectively stakeholders can recognize the effect of coordination process application on the project performance. The data were obtained from literature review and structured interviews with five experts. The analysis produced the framework of coordination based on the extensively used procedures for information and data flow between stakeholders.

“…For example, current industry structure has many potential points of conflict where participants attempt to pass on the risk to others. It is clearly present in the diversification of the goals of the designer and builder, where "the designer wants a functional design that reflects his philosophy and the builder wants a buildable product within reasonable risk limitations" [35].This situation clearly shows 'conflicts, inconsistencies and mismatches' between all of project team members [54] which is possibly due to simple misunderstandings or assumptions mainly caused by the current traditional design and construction practice [55]. Construction industry, in general, is fragmented and uncoordinated [56], riddled with a lack of trust, non-client focused, inefficient and expensive; it has no effective forum where all the constituent parts come together to thrash out issues of the day.…”

Abstract. In general, fragmentation within the construction industry arises from two areas within the traditional construction process; the construction work process where the most significant division is in the separation of the design and construction phase, and the construction structure itself. The fragmentation process in traditional contracting practice further hinders the integration of construction knowledge among contractors, diminishing the opportunity for them to influence design decisions. When design professionals fail to consider as to how a contractor would construct the designed project results in scheduling problems, delays, and disputes during the construction process. Moving towards team integration is considered a significant strategy for overcoming the issue. Accordingly, this paper discusses the fragmentation issue in more detail including its definition, and causes and effects to the construction projects. It also explores that the team integration strategy alleviates scheduling problems, and helps avoid delays and disputes during the construction process, preventing harm to overall project performance.
