This paper discusses the relationship between communication and construction management based on the concepts of The Montreal School of organizational communication. In the conceptual review, two theoretical orientations are presented: (a) construction management as a temporary organization; (b) organization as a constant transformation of conversations into texts. The research methods are presented with a description of the context of the communicative events and the forms of data collection and analysis. In order to discuss the conceptualization, the selection, transcription and analysis of a conversation which took place during an operational planning meeting of a construction is presented. As a result of the analysis, it was observed how the conversation and the language resources used enable the emergence of a collective comprehension, with the transformation of several agents into one collective actor, one text, which expresses how the organization will deal with a situation. The contribution of communication and organization was highlighted in two ways: (a) the observation of communication theories in the context of temporary organization and, specifically, construction management; (b) the presentation of a methodology for the collection, selection and analysis of episodes of communicative events which occurred in the workplace.
