- Abstract:
This paper explores the Australian building industry’s perceptions of the relationships between architects’ provision of design documentation and the constructability, programming and cost control of major projects. Previous recommendations aimed at improving communications in the industry have not achieved widespread endorsement and implementation. Consequences of current problems are discussed, with additional costs to participants and lengthening of the project program seen as common outcomes. Some initiatives are proposed that aim to improve the professional understanding of these issues through integration within the everyday practices of architects and contractors and through a higher profile in tertiary education programs.
