Project success in the construction industry hinges on the effectiveness of its teams. Despite having structured teams, supportive cultures, and awareness of team lifecycle stages, challenges such as poor communication, shifting project scopes, limited management support, and weak member commitment persist. These barriers highlight the need for enhanced strategies to foster collaboration, shared goals, and improved performance. This study assessed the implementation of team development techniques in selected AAAA construction companies in the National Capital Region. Forty-one (41) Engineers and Architects with at least one year of project management experience participated, representing firms accredited at the highest level by the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB). Data were collected using a validated survey instrument and analyzed through frequency counts, percentages, and means. Results showed that 82.93% of respondents were male, 43.90% aged 21–30, and 34.15% had 6–10 years of experience. Most held roles as Project Engineers or Architects (41.46%). Among the team development techniques, Colocation was rated “Fully Implemented” (M = 4.62), indicating strong integration of team members in shared physical spaces. Other techniques – Virtual Teams (4.35), Communication Technology (4.44), Interpersonal and Team Skills (4.48), Meetings (4.46), Training (3.85), Individual and Team Assessment (3.93), and Rewards and Recognition (3.74) – were “Implemented.” However, the lower ratings for Training, Assessment, and Rewards suggest these areas are underprioritized. Addressing these gaps is essential to enhance team motivation, retention, and overall project success. The study underscores the importance of systematic team development beyond structural and cultural foundations, advocating for targeted interventions to strengthen performance in Philippine construction projects.
