Description

Construction project presents highly complex one-of-a-kind environments which require engagement of many parties for a long time period. Data insertion from different sources should be managed and controlled avoiding conflicts and cost overruns. In addition to efficient and effective material flow, the management of construction projects is the most information-influenced industry, which entails timely and accurate communication between parties involved. Nowadays, innovative web-based solutions are applied to insure the inter-organization of the participants’ communication. Findings from the literature review have shown online information exchange in construction management to be of great importance. In this paper we present the case study of a real estate international investment in Albania which uses an online platform as a communication and coordination tool between project stakeholders. This followed by recommendations on improving their information flow with the aim of full integration of all parties involved in the project.

The importance of innovative solutions for information flow in a multinational construction project

Durres, Albania

Construction project presents highly complex one-of-a-kind environments which require engagement of many parties for a long time period. Data insertion from different sources should be managed and controlled avoiding conflicts and cost overruns. In addition to efficient and effective material flow, the management of construction projects is the most information-influenced industry, which entails timely and accurate communication between parties involved. Nowadays, innovative web-based solutions are applied to insure the inter-organization of the participants’ communication. Findings from the literature review have shown online information exchange in construction management to be of great importance. In this paper we present the case study of a real estate international investment in Albania which uses an online platform as a communication and coordination tool between project stakeholders. This followed by recommendations on improving their information flow with the aim of full integration of all parties involved in the project.
