Abstract
The construction business has been generally censured for its divided way to deal with
project conveyance and its inability to form powerful groups. This has brought about
decreased project conveyance proficiency. The aim of the study is to examine the importance
of construction project team integration in construction project delivery at Total Petroleum
Ghana (TPGL). The study had four specific objectives which includes to; identify the
significant benefits of construction project team integration in TPGL; identify the critical
challenges associated with team integration in construction project management in TPGL;
and proffer strategies to improve construction project team integration. TPGL’s Engineering
Department was used as a case study. Purposive sampling was used to select the respondents.
SPSS software and descriptive statistics such mean, standard deviation and rank score used to
analyse the data. It was found that the significant benefits of construction project team
integration were; individuals bolster each other and accomplishments are shared all through
the group (M=3.97), and operated in an atmosphere where relationships are equitable and
members are respected (M=3.92). The criterial challenges with team integration in
construction project in TPG were; the brief length of construction project (M=3.97) and
inappropriate correspondence, and absence of authority and the power war among the
colleagues (M=3.90). The data revealed that the strategies to improve construction project
team integration were; whole venture group must be consolidated with a specific end goal to
accomplish the fruitful culmination of current construction venture (M=3.92), and building
trust and regard among the colleagues (M=3.82). It is recommended that management should
provide adequate team building training with much emphasis on self-administration of group
and relational aptitudes to improve correspondence while upgrading teamwork and execution.
