Summary

The chapter discussed generally the need for proper communication in construction project management, particularly in the M&E process. The types and mode (model) of communication are discussed. Also the purpose of communication in M&E is explained to include information sharing and awareness creation, education and training and persuasion. Furthermore, the benefits and barriers of M&E implementation are reviewed. Some approaches to achieving effective communication in the M&E process are discussed as well. The next chapter introduces yet another variable essential for effective implementation of M&E relating to construction which is monitoring and evaluation leadership.
