Abstract
The research involves a qualitative comprehensive review based on the subject of online virtual
team communication in building construction. The importance of strong contact in promoting
collaboration was highlighted. Its significance helps build credibility and, in many cases, improves
project outcomes. Because of this, a wide range of skills is readily available and easy to work with.
The study clearly highlights that the teams also face unique obstacles. A lack of familiarity with
other cultures is one issue. There is also the issue of not knowing how to use some technologies.
Tackling these challenges is of the utmost importance. Improved methods of interaction may be
achieved with this. There is an immediate need to offer extensive training programs for members
(among other critical concerns highlighted by the research). They need to hone their interpersonal
and technical skills simultaneously in this program. It is crucial to set explicit communication
procedures. This will help to improve team relations and reduce the likelihood of
misunderstandings. Additionally, the study adds to the field of project management. It sheds light
on how crucial trust and psychological safety are in online settings. The results provide useful
information for practitioners who want to enhance their management of VPTs. It does so by
highlighting the significance of openness and frequent interaction. This study lays the groundwork
for future research on virtual communication hurdles and how to overcome them
