Communicating the design intent, from initial briefing through the design stage and on to the actual construction is vital to the success of any building project. This book looks at communication across physical, organisational and cultural barriers with a view to improving the design and construction process.

The authors investigate communication issues across physical, organisational and cultural barriers and present clear guidance and practical advice.

Reviews
'A well-written, logically structured and well referenced text ....[it] represents the first serious attempt to explore communication within the industry's specific context, and I would commend it as a robust introductory text for students, academics and practitioners with an interest in communication dynamics'.
