Organising Construction Firms
This chapter argues a major barrier; perhaps, the major barrier to transformation is the organisation of the construction firm. Many of the barriers faced at the project level have their source and flow from the way that construction firms are organised. The historic process to project and construction management has been to employ institutional guidelines to provide routinised and standardised approaches to project management in teaching and research. There has been performance improvement in construction, much of which has arisen through product development and prefabrication. The interventions involve technical and management inputs to enable systems integration on projects. Non‐organising occurs in project teams within the actors and between the actors because of the transactional business model. Improving the organisation of the construction firm is a key element to supporting effective project organising and needs to be one key element of transforming construction through improving performance.
