TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue for an approach to project quality problems which would effectively reflect the unique, complex and paradoxical nature of projects while recognising the constraints imposed by project stakeholders and their business environments.
Abstract: A growing body of evidence indicates the emerging applications of projects and their role in modern businesses. The agreement over project success criteria and delivery of a quality product still remains a key managerial concern. Underlying theoretical concepts and empirical evidence presented in this report confirm that the project management body of thought is evolving beyond conventional wisdom in the field. A range of quality issues has been identified as pertinent in project environments across industrial sectors. The effectiveness of managerial responses vary. In this study, we argue for an approach to project quality problems which would effectively reflect the unique, complex and paradoxical nature of projects while recognising the constraints imposed by project stakeholders and their business environments. Subsequently, our study adopts a multiple perspective approach to project management and, on this basis, suggests a generic, total quality based “project completeness” framework to guide the implementation of case‐specific initiatives which would address, in an integrated manner, a wide range of project quality concerns. The study is exploratory, longitudinal, informed by multiple research projects and reflective cross‐industry practice, while the resulting conceptual propositions are to be further tested and improved.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether the information gleaned from academic literature aligns with the impressions and attitudes of actual construction industry stakeholders to better understand the semantic and circumstantial disconnect between industry and academia.
Abstract: The research purpose is to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether the information gleaned from academic literature aligns with the impressions and attitudes of actual construction industry stakeholders to better understand the semantic and circumstantial disconnect between industry and academia. For this purpose, the researchers developed and administered a small-scale survey of key project stakeholders to determine the validity of the proposed definitions and construction literature findings. Additionally, the research team conducted interviews to develop a more in-depth case study perspective on barriers to innovative project delivery for key players in the construction industry supply chain. Thirty-five members of the BuildingSmart Alliance replied to the survey and six contractors took part in interviews, allowing the researchers to conduct a preliminary analysis of the strength of the proposed definitions and drivers of and barriers to innovation for project delivery in the construc...
