Abstract
Even though an estimated 80% of all building projects are procured by some form of the traditional building process, the project to project variations in performance are still subjectively and individually explained. The present paper addresses this particular domain. Using interorganizational conflict among the project's task-organizations as a yardstick, the impact of a number of conflict-inducing organizational variables upon project cost, time and quality is measured and significant determinants of performance at these three levels are identified.Keywords
