Abstract

The advent of the fourth industrial revolution has disrupted the channel of communication within the construction industry especially at the pre-contract phase of a construction project. Thus, this study investigated the communication channel adopted at the pre-contract phase of a construction project in Nigeria. The study adopted random sampling from collecting data from construction professionals in South West of Nigeria. A total of 480 questionnaires was distributed to the respondents and used for the analysis. The questionnaire was analysed using SPSS V 20 using the mean item score. The findings from the analysis show that the communication channel adopted by the construction professionals consists of print, face to face and electronic media. The study discovered that the fourth industrial revolution has not disrupted the communication practice in Nigeria as the print media remains the predominant channel of communication.
