Project management is Graham's principal research interest, particularly around the organisation of the project process and the role of the owner/investor in large, complex projects. Although he is a specialist in construction project management, his research has encompassed a wide range of engineering-based industries ranging from motors to aerospace as well as international comparative work. Current research work focuses on:

1) the management of uncertainty, complexity and stakeholders in major programmes

2) owner roles in infrastructure development

3) housing retrofit programmes for green performance
