In order to control effectively the level of corruption in construction, the critical factors of corruption in construction need to be correctly diagnosed. Hence, the objective of this paper is to review the causes of corruption in construction, consequences and method to minimize corruption in construction industry. The aim of this project is to identify causes of corruption and determine method or strategy to minimize corruption effectively.
