Abstract

The issue of poor performance in terms of time and cost overruns of the projects is defined as an outcome of the emerging complexities associated with construction projects. The current paper investigates the research trends and patterns in the field of construction project complexity assessment and management. The research encompasses a methodical analysis using bibliometric analysis of significant academic publications in project complexity management. The major findings of the study include the limitations of existing complexity theories, potential determinants of project complexity and assessment models. The need for specifying complexity specific to project typologies, integration of complexity theories with existing project management practice are identified in this study. Further, this paper attempts to conceptualise a theoretical project complexity assessment and management model associated with complex construction projects.
