Construction teams are usually complex, interdisciplinary and temporary, and, as such, the need for effective communication is crucial. However, published data regarding the manner in which individuals interact within the temporary project team is scarce, with little other than anecdotal evidence available.Recognizing this gap, Communication in Construction Teams provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on interpersonal communication and delivers a critical review of various research methods previously used in and outside the construction management field. Making use of Bales' interaction process analysis (IPA), a tool used successfully in many fields to collect interaction data, the text investigates the link between successful projects and the effectiveness of communication, finding that participants in the construction process exhibit regular patterns of interaction and, most significantly, that there are different patterns of interaction associated with successful and unsuccessful projects.Putting forward a number of practical suggestions to assist all actors involved in construction projects, this insightful publication will be of interest to researchers in the fields of building design and construction management.

The International Conference for Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) brings together experts from around the world to focus on a sustainability agenda and the positive and detrimental changes that are taking place. In addition to addressing technical issues, measuring, monitoring, and evaluating change, emphasis is placed on our environment, infrastructure, and buildings, how they exist in relative isolation, and the possibilities for sustainable integration. The research presented at the 2022 conference came from a broad spectrum of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and brings forward practices tackling the climate emergency and evaluating their impact.
