AB  - Modular construction projects have complexity attributes that differ from conventional projects. To address this complexity, collaboration within production units and between different units is essential, as it contributes to resilient performance. The aim of the investigation is to understand the role of collaboration in the implementation of production planning and control (PP&C) in modular construction projects, considering complexity attributes. A case study was conducted at a Brazilian modular construction company. The unit of analysis was the PP&C system developed in this company for managing construction site installations, strongly based on the Last Planner System. As a result, a list of collaborative processes for planning and controlling modular construction projects was presented. Each process was thoroughly evaluated across six categories of collaboration factors: behavior, communication, team, management, technology, and contractual aspects. Collaborative processes related to meetings addressed the highest number of collaboration categories, suggesting that these are the most collaborative processes. In a high-complexity project, as it is typical of this modular construction company, addressing the highest number of collaboration factors contributes to alignment between sectors and achieving project objectives.
