Although the quantity surveyors had laid their claim to the building industry for more
than a century, poor scientific knowledge analyses with reference to the professional
communication capabilities and communication instruments in the construction
industry still exists.
The aim of this thesis is to measure the determinants of a communication maturity
model in respect of the communication capabilities of the profession. The proposed
most important determinants used were brought to light through research undertaken
by the University of the Free State in collaboration with the Wirtschafts University in
Vienna, Austria in 2005/6.
The results of the survey indicate that respondents were positive with regard to
professional communication in general. This can influence the construction industry
with continuous advantages for the property development environment.
The survey results indicate that the determinant contractual communication of the
quantity surveyor is experienced the most positive. The determinant leadership
communication of the quantity surveyor is experienced the least positive.
A model of the most important determinants for effective communication was used to
measure the maturity of the professionâs communication capabilities in the
construction industry.
