A Review of Importance of Construction Documents on Project Delivery

Abstract

Building delivery requires the use of construction documents, usually referred to as construction drawings or blueprints. They offer a thorough set of guidelines that the construction team, which consists of architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors, should adhere to throughout the building process. This systematic literature review aims to examine the construction industry, and investigate the impacts of construction documents on project delivery by synthesizing and analyzing relevant scholarly research. The review identifies key findings, trends, and gaps in the existing literature, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The review includes a selection of high-quality research articles, conference papers, and industry reports published within the last decade. The chosen articles were written and published between the years 2013 and 2023. The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of construction document on building delivery. The results showed that the study was discussed more by researchers based on specification and cost, with literature review and quantitative research method being the most adopted approach to studies.
