Abstract
Construction projects follow a life-cycle that is dynamic and goal oriented. They are managed by a project team, each phase of the project life-cycle is different in nature demanding different skills, roles and responsibilities from the team. This paper explores the dynamic and changing focus of the management of construction projects and the ingredients of performance drawing on case studies of major projects in Australia.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
