In search of organisational legitimacy construction sites

As a response to functional ineffectiveness and market pressures organisational restructuring is nowadays becoming an increasing reality of construction projects. Nonetheless, the task of redefining conventional structural and functional boundaries remains a diverse challenge of industry players. Empirical findings on ongoing efforts oriented towards attaining functionally and economically more advantageous governance structures on the sites are outlined. The conception and integration of semiautonomous multiskilled teamwork as an alternative mode of organising site operations governance is in terms of moral and pragmatic considerations theorised. Effective employment of the work strategy appeared to be primarily a matter of feasible dimensionalisation expressed in terms of consistency between the concept's structural configuration and a bundle of technical and institutional elements of the project environment that have a supporting relation to each other. It is outlined that understanding the logic of this texture presupposes adequate knowledge of the task environment. Lack of such consistency makes multiskilled teamwork on the site vulnerable to poor implementability or general failure.
