Abstract

This article examines the critical role of on-site information management in achieving real-time construction project delivery, based on a study conducted across 103 construction sites in Akure, Nigeria. It identifies key information channels—such as oral signs, written reports, physical and virtual meetings, emails, drawings, and pictorial signs—as essential for effective communication among diverse project participants, including contractors, managers, and artisans. The study finds that proper use of these channels enhances team understanding, reduces errors and confusion, fosters trust and collaboration, and ultimately improves project outcomes. It recommends mandatory training for all stakeholders on information management practices and highlights the managerial and policy implications of adopting robust information protocols to ensure timely, accurate, and secure data flow throughout the project lifecycle.
