“…Although deconstruction can increase the reusability of the recovered building components ( Addis, 2006 ; Munroe et al, 2006 ), it is believed to be more labour intensive ( Chileshe et al, 2015 ; Gorgolewski et al, 2008 ; Rameezdeen et al, 2016 ). Dantata et al (2005) highlight that the time required to deconstruct a 90 to 180 m2 building is three to five times higher than the time needed for the demolition of the same building.…”

“…Sometimes the deconstruction time extends beyond anticipations because of issues such as a lack of space for equipment, complexity of the building design and the geographic location of the building ( Tatiya et al, 2017 ). These extra charges can yield a higher deconstruction cost (when compared with the demolition of the same building) ( Chileshe et al, 2015 ; Dantata et al, 2005 ; Dunant et al, 2018 ; Rose and Stegemann, 2018 ; Tingley et al, 2017 ; Yeung et al, 2015 ) and eventually increase the price of the recovered components ( Chileshe et al, 2015 ; Chileshe et al, 2016a ; Dunant et al, 2018 ; Rameezdeen et al, 2016 ; Shaurette, 2006 ; Tingley et al, 2017 ).…”

Components reuse in the building sector – A systematic review

Widespread reuse of building components can promote the circularity of materials in the building sector. However, the reuse of building components is not yet a mainstream practise. Although there have been several studies on the factors affecting the reuse of building components, there is no single study that has tried to harmonize the circumstances affecting this intervention. Through a systematic literature review targeting peer-reviewed journal articles, this study intends to identify and stratify factors affecting the reuse of components of the superstructure of a building and eventually delineate correlations between these factors. Factors identified throughout this study are classified into six major categories and 23 sub-categories. Then the inter-dependencies between the barriers are studied by developing the correlation indices between the sub-categories. Results indicate that addressing the economic, social and regulatory barriers should be prioritized. Although the impact of barriers under perception, risk, compliance and market subcategories are very pronounced, the highest inter-dependency among the sub-categories is found between perception and risk. It suggests that the perception of the stakeholders about building components reuse is affected by the potential risks associated with this intervention.

“…In other words, the results of the content analysis indicated that the current focus of reverse logistics literature in the construction industry is primarily on end-of-life waste management.

A Review of Reverse Logistics: An Upstream Construction Supply Chain Perspective

Construction industry activities, from material extraction to the end of the structure life, affect the environment negatively. For a sustainable construction process, economically, environmentally, and socially friendly practices are essential, and reverse logistics is one solution that can provide such an approach. In reverse logistics, obsolete products are reused in a new production, while reducing negative effects to the environment. In this study, we assess the current state of research on reverse logistics practices in the construction industry. The study presents a comparative data mining analysis, followed by a content analysis. The results show that the construction industry literature ignores the impact of reverse logistics practices on upstream construction activities. We argue that industry practitioners must take reverse logistics decisions in the early phases of the construction process by considering both upstream and end-of-life construction activities, and we recommend a reverse logistics decision framework for successful reverse logistics implementation. The findings of this research are significant for decision-makers in the industry. We urge that sustainable practices be employed in the industry. Furthermore, a quantitative analysis is suggested to strengthen the arguments made in this article.

“…Service flow and finance flow were next proposed for inclusion in LSCM (Mentzer et al, 2001). Flow management aside, LSCM was later expanded to include management of networks between inter-organizational stakeholders and across intra-organizational functional units involved in the process (Dainty et al, 2001;Rameezdeen, 2016). LSCM has now successfully evolved into a discipline in its own right and the body of LSCM literature has grown exponentially.…”

Logistic and supply chain management (LSCM) is of paramount importance to a construction project but is often problematic. Many researchers see LSCM per se as a web of decisions to be made, and attribute problems to a lack of process and information concurrence. This is exacerbated by fragmentation, discontinuity, and heterogeneity in construction LSCM. The bi-directional information flow remains unachieved in the existing sensing-based systems for construction LSCM. Without panoramically interconnected to other smart abilities such as the automatic action-taking ability, most existing sensing-based systems are insufficient to realize their full potentials in facilitating construction LSCM. Building on previous studies on smart construction objects (SCOs), this paper aims to develop an SCO-enabled system that can enhance concurrence of process and information, with a view to informing better decision-making in construction LSCM. It does so by first analyzing the problems in prevailing LSCM practices using business process reengineering. Based on this analysis, the architecture for an SCO-enabled LSCM system is proposed and developed into a prototype. Then the system is calibrated and validated in the rich context of offshore prefabrication housing production in Hong Kong. It is found that SCOs, with their properties of awareness, communicativeness, and autonomy built into a smart management system, 2 can supplement the existing LSCM process with more concurrent decision-making information. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge in two areas. It adds to the theoretical debate on decision-making by arguing the importance of information and process concurrence and trying to explicate it in the context of construction LSCM. In addition, the SCO-enabled LSCM system can be implemented in real-life practice to alleviate the many problems existing in construction LSCM.
