Abstract
This paper examines the communication barriers and practices in multicultural teams in the construction sector of Ireland. The study seeks to find out how cultural diversity may influence the communication efficiency, based on the SMCR model. Survey of 100 construction workers also depicted how language played an important role in construction projects as well as different communication strategies and cultural trends adopted during the construction process. All studies examined in this paper indicate that there is significant risk of miscommunication but this can be prevented with techniques such as cultural competence training, having clear verbal and written formats for communication, and seventh, having proper integration of technology into the healthcare process. Hence, the study focuses on the communication media choice for improving the collaboration in multicultural project team.
