Abstract :

With increasing theoretical and practical interest in crowdsourcing and crowdfunding strategies, no eclectic review of the concepts as an integrated whole have so far appeared in real estate-based research. The field lacks a clear and vivid conceptualization of a unification of the concepts as a project delivery strategy. The study therefore reviews literature with a view to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of this literature stream. The review is based on articles published in indexed journal databases and qualitative data collected from the review was subjected to Scissor-sort analysis. The findings show that no nomenclature exists for an integrated crowdsourcing-crowdfunding platform. The study filled this gap with the development of the Construction Project Crowding concept, and further went ahead to conceptualize the term. This conceptualization provides a detailed description of a crowdsourcingcrowdfunding unification strategy for sustainable delivery of affordable public housing projects in developing countries. Recommendations were made on future construction project crowding research directions.
