Chapter 7: Effective Communication: A Measure of Project Success

Effective communication is the channel by which any industry survives. Communication can be through several convenient means in respect to nature of the information sent.

Whichever way information is transferred, the importance of communication in construction activities cannot be neglected. In fact, with many barriers experienced before and during the construction process, a structured platform should always be available without hindrance for ease of flow from the project manager to the least member of the construction team.
