“…This study aims to increase the successful completion of construction projects in the Indian building sector by implementing VM. As shown in Figure 1, adopted from the literature, this study began with a review of related literature on VM barriers [13,34,54]. Consequently, twenty-five (25) sets of barriers were established.…”

This study aims to evaluate the value management (VM) implementation barriers in construction projects. Consequently, information from 126 experts in the building industry was gathered via a questionnaire survey. Subsequently, the data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partial least square structural modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of EFA revealed that the VM barriers were grouped into six new constructs: client, knowledge, information, culture, resources, team members, and workshop. The barriers prioritization model was developed using PLS-SEM, and it indicated that team members are critical barriers to VM adoption. Although this study was limited to India’s VM context, its findings can be applied to other developing countries yet to implement VM in their construction industries. The study enhances stakeholder awareness and an understanding of the barriers affecting the implementation of VM, including building professionals, in India. It suggests strategies and activities overcome these barriers and facilitate a higher building quality, while maintaining a reasonable price.

“…The questionnaire contained three sections. Section one collated the demographic profile of respondents; section two gathered quantitative interval data on a 5-point Likert scale to measure the CSFs of cyber technology (Table 1), where 5 = extremely high, 4 = high, 3 = average, 2 = small, and 1 = no or very small, as frequently used in previous studies [43][44][45][46][47]; and section three gathered qualitative openended data on questions that sought further information on the essential CSFs identified. To ensure robust ethical compliance, all participants were assured that all data would be kept strictly confidential, no personal details would be divulged nor disseminated, and data collected would be retained on a secure server and destroyed upon completion of this investigation.…”

We sought to identify and examine the critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for incorporating cyber technology into residential building projects to augment operational performance and sustainability. An iterative two-stage approach was adopted to explore the phenomena under investigation. General CSFs for cyber technology were first identified from the extant literature, and subsequently explored using primary questionnaire survey data accrued from professionals within the Nigerian building industry. The survey results illustrated that the availability of sensors, good communication networks, mobile devices, and device layers and the creation of workable virtual modes are the main critical success factors for adopting cyber technology. Moreover, Gini’s mean difference measure of dispersion showed that the success factor in stationary cyber technology adoption is government support. The study’s findings guide building industry stakeholders to embrace cyber technology to improve cost and sustainability performance in the Nigerian building industry. Due to the originality of the findings of this study, a strong basis is provided for critically evaluating and analyzing the many vital aspects of cyber technology success.

“…For instance, clogged or debris-laden stormwater grates can affect the normal discharge of rainwater, potentially leading to localized flooding issues. Aging or damaged drainage pipes may risk leakage or collapse, hindering the flow of water and causing flooding (Mohandes et al, 2022). Future research can further explore the relationships between topography, land cover, and other factors in relation to flooding causes, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to flooding.…”
