Abstract

Managing economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability in the operations of Construction Project Management is one of the significant tasks for today's managers. Because of its huge environmental impacts, The Construction industry emerges as an area of immense sustainable development. This led to an increase the focus of researchers and global communities towards incorporating sustainability in construction projects, and it changed the science of construction project management to a great extent. Yet, incorporating sustainability in projects is not a single time task rather a process whose scope is broadly distributed in all phases of construction projects, including planning, execution, delivery, and even till the lifecycle of project deliverables. Although project management and the concept of sustainability have been widely studied separately, how these two different fields act collectively and coordinate within the vibrant construction projects require more attention of researchers. In this paper Sustainability Integration Model (SIM) is presented based on a review of recent literature to define and incorporate sustainability in projects with a special focus on the construction industry.

Abstract

As construction teams are comprised of multi skilled individuals with varying experiences that are required to work on different projects throughout their career. This research seeks to reconnoiter the role of Information integration in Performance of construction Teams. The United Arab Emirates is protuberant country for construction activities because of considerable investments in mega projects and distinguishing architectural designs. Therefore, survey research is conducted in the United Arab Emirates to understand the relationship of inter-organization information integration and intra-organization information integration of the contracting firms with team performance. The data obtained is then technically analyzed through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results indicates that Inter organization information integration and intra organization information integration have impacts on construction team performance. Based on findings, a model is presented to help improve team performance by understanding the significant role of information integration.The momentous research aid the relation of inter organization information integration and intra organization information integration with team performance thus providing a foundation for new research that can build and strengthen the varying dynamics of Information Integration.Information integration has vivacious standing in expediting operations of construction projects, explicitly improving construction team performance. However, the dynamic nature of the construction industry projects makes it an area of immense need of exploration. The contracting firms that usually work on more than one project can yield better results by improving team performance. Thus, result in improved Firm’s performance.
