Integration of Participant for Design Performance in Construction Project: A Review of Research Methods and Content

Integration of participants in the design process is essential to achieve optimal architectural and building design performance. The lack of awareness of integration between the disciplines involved, especially involvement with designer groups, causes projects to tend to be fragmented, making it challenging to resolve design conflicts. Multi-stakeholder integration has emerged as an essential approach to handling complex and various design aspects. This study aimed to investigate research methods and content papers regarding factor integration of participant designs, using a literature review of 25 relevant papers published between 2014 and 2023. Each study uses a different approach to collect data, qualitative and quantitative. Data sources are divided into primary and secondary data sources. Communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing are often discussed as integration factors from participant design. From the analysis of this study, collaboration was identified as the most researched stakeholder integration factor. However, research on these factors is often analyzed separately so that it becomes an opportunity in the future to examine these three factors simultaneously. Analysis from the quadrant mapping techniques reveals that primary quantitative is the dominant method, with survey technique. Consequently, these findings will provide valuable guidance for driving future research on improving design performance through factor integration of design participants.
