Research The Planning And Communication's Impact On The Performance Of Construction Project

The construction projects are diverse and complicated. People is continually looking for methods by which to improve projects'performance.In order to improve performance, project managers must conduct effective planning and foster communication within the project.This study looked at both as an integral part of the internal project management functions,and research on planning and communication impacts on performance in construction.Based on literature survey about planning and communication ,and analyzing the fuction of project management,the thesis created planning and communication model.This thesis analysed planning and communication's impact on project performance by model.and then,the questionnaire was designed after conducting pilot study.The pilot study consisted of 8 construction sites in Xi'an.The formal questionnaire was send to some diverse construction projects.The study anlaysed how the organizational structure,computerization,design quality,and project budget influence communication and planning,and researched the planning and communication's impact on the performance of construction project groply.This thesis will show how the organaizational structure, computerization, design quality, and project budget influence communication and planning,and how communication and planning impact a project's performance by questionnaire.These following conclusion can be getting from data analysis gathered in questionnaire: (1)The main cause of delays was due to lack of information. (2)Planning for materials proved to be critical to small projects. (3)Delays due to labor availability were higher in small projects. (4)Projects with low subordinate communication experienced 2.5 times the number of delayed day. (5)Trends between the amount of days in advance that the project management plans for and total performance exist. (6)Computer aided planning in large projects was used higherly than in small projects. (7)Where these was a higher percent of computer aided planning, there was a higher total performance,and fewer delayed days were incurred.This study shows how planning and communication impact on project's performance in construction directly by data analysis gathered from questionnaire.Also,this thesis prvoved details to project performance management.
