**6. Conclusions and recommendations**

Levels of adoption of communication process between public and private sector project are significant. The implication is that project clients have significant effect on the levels of adoption of two communication media, two communication channels and four communication flows. The mean scores of the levels of adoption of the nine communication practices show that written and electronic communication media, print and electronic communication channels are more adopted in projects procured by public clients than in projects procured by private clients while audio-visual communication medium and the four communication flows are more adopted in projects procured by private clients than projects procured by public client. However, the p-values for the test of differences in the levels of adoption of iconic, non-iconic and computer encoding-decoding communication practices, verbal and non-verbal communication media, face-to-face communication channel and nexus communication flow (0.569) between projects procured by public and private sector clients is higher than the critical p-value (0.05), therefore, the test fails to reject the hypothesis. *Client Type and Communication Practice during Pre-Contract Phase of Construction Project… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.113210*
