“…Incentives such as tax benefits or grants can motivate firms to embrace Construction 4.0 technologies, fostering innovation and improving competitiveness (Behl et al, 2023). Moreover, policy measures can promote collaboration and interoperability among stakeholders, as well as bring the top management of corporations up to speed with Construction 4.0 developments and change the construction industry's culture in favour of Construction 4.0 adoption (Findik et al, 2023). Scholars typically stress that such policies should be developed and implemented as a package of interventions rather than in isolation (Nudurupati et al, 2022).…”

PurposeBy providing an overview of the existing knowledge on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0, this review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners interested in understanding the current state of public governance in the context of Construction 4.0 and identifying avenues for future research and practical implementation.Design/methodology/approachThis article presents a systematic and comprehensive review of the academic literature on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0. To ensure a systematic and rigorous selection of source material, the study adopts the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.FindingsBy examining a wide range of scholarly works, the review identifies and discusses eight recurring themes that are crucial for understanding the role of public governance in Construction 4.0. These themes include policy and regulation, infrastructure and investment, skill development and education, digital inclusion and access, collaboration and partnerships, data governance and privacy, interactions with environmental and societal goals and the impact of Construction 4.0 on public governance itself. The review highlights a significant disparity between the normative debates on the importance of public governance in Construction 4.0 and the empirical knowledge available regarding its practical implementation. While the literature emphasizes the need for effective governance mechanisms to address the challenges and opportunities presented by Construction 4.0, there is a notable lack of empirical research examining the actual implementation and outcomes of public governance strategies.Originality/valueThis is the first systematic review of academic literature on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0.

This study deploys institutional theory and Resource orchestration theory (ROT) to examine the roles supply chain stakeholder pressure, circular innovation orientation (CIO) and environmental information exchange capability (EIEC) play in adopting Circular supply chain (CSC) practices. This study uses a partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) to analyse survey data gathered from 290 managers of manufacturing Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. This study finds that pressure from supply chain stakeholders substantially drives manufacturing SMEs' CSC practices. This study confirms that EIEC negatively moderates the relationship between supply chain stakeholder pressure and CSC practices. Finally, this study confirms the complementarity between CIO and EIEC through moderating effects between supply chain stakeholder pressure and CSC practices. This study advances circular supply chain management (CSCM) literature by testing a research framework that examines important but rarely studied roles of CIO and EIEC in SMEs' CSC practices adoption under supply chain stakeholder pressure through institutional and resource orchestration perspectives.

The simultaneous evolution of the construction sector towards the circular economy and digitalization is widely recognized and endorsed by both policy initiatives and academic discourse. In this dynamic landscape, research efforts are focused on creating automated tools and models to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of circularity in buildings, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making processes. Building Information Modelling (BIM) stands out for its acknowledged capabilities in data storage and process automation, making it a compelling platform for achieving these objectives. This paper aims to establish a conceptual framework that addresses the challenge of developing BIM-supported tools and models for promoting circularity in buildings. The primary goal of the proposed framework is to assist tool developers and professionals in the construction sector, providing them with a systematic approach to integrate circularity aspects into BIM for efficient and automated assessment processes. To achieve this, the study critically analyzes five existing BIM-based circularity tools and models from previous studies, elucidating the key stages and providing detailed steps for their development. The paper concludes by emphasizing the main barriers hindering the development and automation of circularity tools within the BIM framework. This comprehensive exploration contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable construction practices, offering valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers striving to advance the integration of circular and digital principles in the construction industry.
