Abstract

Objectives: Iraq's construction industry is struggling with innovation and productivity, which has a negative impact on the return on investment for foundation projects. The choices made during the design and construction phases significantly impact the rest of the interaction since bridges are reliable for a long time. Despite being a crucial requirement from contractors, designing for simplicity of building is still challenging for designers.

Methods: The first stages of project planning and design present the most visible chance to influence construction and its future characteristics. Information sharing between construction and design engineers is uneven and unstructured, which makes collaboration difficult. The effectiveness of a few tactics for increasing productivity in the construction industry is examined in this review.

Results: The findings highlight life-cycle issues, the value of organized group participation, and the discovery of crucial design variables while showcasing characteristics common to all techniques. Successful teamwork and communication skills are essential for the advancement of construction projects. Conclusion: A structure is suggested to address these problems and identify areas where Swedish bridge design groups could improve. The construction industry is researched to grasp contemporary collaboration and communication practices and gain insight into areas that require special attention.
