“…Moreover, there are regions where policies are limited in scope and implementation and where professionals may lack a comprehensive understanding of the principles of CE. These nuances highlight the challenges and opportunities for further advancing CE practices in the built environment, calling for a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to policy development, knowledge, skills, and education within the built environment [57,58].…”

Due to its intricate production processes, complex supply chains, and industry-specific characteristics, the construction industry faces unique challenges in adopting circular economy (CE) principles that promote resource equity. To address this issue, this study aims to delve into identifying stakeholders’ opinions and perceptions regarding key CE strategies across different stages of the building life cycle (BLC). Both European and non-European stakeholders within the “CircularB” COST Action network and beyond participated in this research. Three methods were employed to assess stakeholders’ opinions: an online survey, a structured survey with a semi-guided workshop, and creative thinking round table discussions. Natural language processing (NLP), specifically topic modelling and sentiment analysis, was used to analyse the data collected from the online survey, which gathered text-based opinions from 209 participants on the cost-benefit aspects of circularity strategies. The structured survey, which collected data from 43 workshop participants, evaluated the perceived importance of CE strategies across various BLC phases and assessed the adoption of selected CE strategies in current or past projects. Finally, the Six Thinking Hats® activity, employed in the round table discussions, generated ideas from 25 professionals regarding the broader implementation challenges and opportunities of CE in construction. The research findings highlight the need to bridge the gap between theory and practice by fostering active industry stakeholder involvement in the transition to a CE model. The analyses of the collected stakeholder opinions through the three activities contribute to proactive and collaborative efforts aimed at advancing resource equity in the construction sector and promoting just and inclusive resource use. In summary, this research offers a comprehensive understanding of stakeholders’ opinions on CE strategies and provides guidance for the development of targeted policies and strategies to accelerate the integration of CE principles in the construction industry.

“…[31] underscores the significance of resolving deficiencies in the present skill sets of project personnel and the need to acquire knowledge of emerging technologies and processes. Moreover, stakeholder engagement, as described by [32], provides a multitude of benefits, such as creating a forum for collective discussions regarding matters of public interest, promoting inclusiveness, and encouraging coordinated efforts to address shared challenges. Stakeholders significantly contribute to improving the construction process through their expertise in change management and technology.…”

The rapid advancement of digital technology has enabled digital transformation across various sectors, including construction. The construction industry has long been associated with conventional, labor-intensive practices that can adversely influence the entire construction process. However, this culture is changing as key players in the sector are progressively identifying and embracing the vast opportunities and associated benefits of using digital tools and technologies to improve the performance and outcomes of the overall project lifecycle. To this end, this study uses the Delphi technique to identify 70 factors that contribute to the digital transformation of the construction industry, categorizing them into five groups: management, design, technology, policy, and infrastructure. Delphi analysis is used to examine the critical success factors for digital transformation identified in the literature and rate their importance during the preconstruction, construction, and facility management phases. Furthermore, this research results in the introduction of the Digital Transformation Level of Readiness Framework (DTRLF) to help facility management firms, clients, organizations, contractors, and designers comprehend the implementation of digital transformation within their respective domains and support decision-makers in establishing action to adapt related technologies in their respected project phases.

“…The perceived obstacles to stakeholders' involvement in South African construction projects were determined by the results, which were then divided into three categories: government-related, organizational, and individual. Additionally, the data suggest ways to lessen perceived obstacles through sector-specific policies and programs [9]. Stakeholders had issues with project rationale that were not sufficiently explained, participation in technical discussions that was challenging, and a perception that project implementers were unwilling to involve them in decision-making, according to the questionnaire analysis [10].…”

In the construction industry, stakeholder management is essential for project success because it entailslocating, evaluating, and proactively interactingwith people or organizations that have the potential to have a substantial impact on project. Due to the involvement of multiple parties, including clients, contractors, subcontractors, regulatory bodies, local communities, and environmental organizations, the construction business is intrinsically complicated. Achieving project objectives, minimizing conflicts, and addressing a variety of interests all depend on effective stakeholder management. In this research, the various challenges faced by the stakeholders are identified. Alongside, the current practices followed by the stakeholders in the construction projects are explored. Based on that, the factors affecting stakeholders’ management on project performance are investigated. This research aims at identifying the most critical factors affecting the stakeholder’s performance across project success through a conceptual framework. This paper explains the direct impact made in project cycle due to stakeholder performance and major problems faced by the construction industries due to improper allocation of stakeholders. A review of earlier stakeholder management research is conducted to accomplish this goal. Keywords: Construction, stakeholders, performance, framework
