Overview: The general view of the construction process is that it is an ordered, linear phenomenon, which can be organized, planned and managed top down. The frequent failures to complete construction projects on time and schedule give rise to thinking that the process may not be as predictable as it may look. A closer examination reveals that construction is indeed a nonlinear, complex and dynamic phenomenon, which often exists on the edge of chaos. The paper introduces the world of complex systems and examines construction in this perspective.
