Abstract
Any type of construction works requires communication between the different stakeholders.
This study focused on project communication and its effect on the performance of
electromechanical construction projects: In a case of Edna-mall HTS PLC. The objectives of this
study were to identify project communication practice and to determine the effect of project
communication on the performance of the four electromechanical projects executed or being
executed by the organization. Explanatory research design with a quantitative approach was used
by collecting a primary data using a research survey questionnaire. A population size of 36 was
used which incorporated different stakeholders on the projects such as contractor, subcontractor,
client, and consultant where some are directly involved (project manager engineers, supervisors,
technician, etc.) and some indirectly involved (Support team form head office like procurement,
human resource, finance, etc ) in the four projects. The findings of the study show that the
projects under this study have a good communication practice. When it comes to the effect of
project communication in the performance of the project. It is observed that the practice of
project communication and organizational communication have a statistically positive
significant influence. While Methods of communication and communication technology have
less significance on the project performance. It is recommended that improvement in the method
and technology of communication could lead to an increase in performance. At last, further
study should be conducted on this topic since this study is limited to the four Electromechanical
construction projects.
