Key Relationship Oriented Indicators of Team Integration in Construction Projects

This paper conducts a review of the literature to identify key practice indicators of team integration in construction projects. The review identified eight key relationship indicators which can be considered vital to team integration within construction projects. These indicators can be used for measuring team relationship practice in construction projects and, hence, assist in improving a team's competitiveness and effectiveness.
