“…Chen et al (2020) argued in their submission that the willingness of construction industry practitioners to incorporate IoT applications was not quite impressive. This assertion is no different from that of Saka and Chan (2020), who reiterated that the problems facing the Nigerian construction industry are further compounded by the disaggregated nature of the industry, together with an increase in the number of stakeholders, a lack of information management and a consistent dependence on traditional methods. Amade et al (2019) and Saka and Chan (2020) further claimed that, as a result of this, there have been calls to shift the tide and leverage the use of modern information and communication technology as it is obtained in developed climates.…”

“…In the race for the deployment and implementation of the fifth generation (5G) and the industry 4.0, a number of emerging disruptive technologies are bringing change and innovation to the various industries. While some countries are seen to have taken the lead in the effective use of these emerging technologies (Jahng and Park, 2020), many developing or less developed countries have yet to leverage them (Saka and Chan, 2020). In Korea, for example, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. has implemented a safety management system using a safety helmet with an IoT-based sensor (Park et al, 2019).…”

This study presents a fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) analysis of the internet challenges of the internet of things (IoT) implementation of construction projects in Nigeria. The identification of the IoT challenges was carried out through a thorough literature search and discussions with 27 built environmental experts. In addition, DEMATEL, an expert judgement-based tool, was used to pick, design, and evaluate a structural model consisting of a causal relationship between defined IoT challenges. Subsequently, the fuzzy DEMATEL was deployed with a view to constructing a structural relationship between the various challenging factors by visualising the dynamic associations between them. Based on the findings of the literature survey and expert evaluation, 18 obstacles to the implementation of IoT in construction projects were classified into cause and effect classes based on their relative parameters of impact. The results suggest that 8 challenges were categorised into the cause group, while 10 were listed into the impact group. The results of this study will enable construction companies, construction industry experts, project managers in Nigeria to enhance their search to design and execute an effective and productive IoT application for their construction projects.

“…Barriers to BIM adoption are investigated for construction projects or the construction industry in general (Kekana, Aigbavboa et al, 2014, Cao, Zhang et al, 2019, as well as for important stages such as design (Chan, 2014), prefabrication (Tan, Chen et al, 2019), construction (Marefat, Toosi et al, 2019), operation and renovation (Elagiry, Marino et al, 2019). Barriers to BIM adoption are also explored for the players in the construction industry, such as designers (Chan, 2014), quantity surveying firms (Wong and Yew, 2017), manufacturers (Mostafa, Kim et al, 2020), contractors (Hamada, Haron et al, 2016), asset management firms (Ashworth, Tucker et al, 2016); for small and medium-sized companies (Hosseini, Namzadi et al, 2016, Saka andChan, 2020) and large firms, for new and existing buildings (Hossain and Yeoh, 2018) etc.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM), an emerging trend in the construction industry worldwide, has been officially introduced to Vietnam recently in some piloted projects. However, in Vietnam, the BIM market is still immature due to that the players in the construction industry have perceived many barriers in adopting this new solution. In a country with a civil law system like Vietnam, the legal environment is considered as the most important enabler for the construction industry to adopt innovative technologies, including BIM. This paper, using a hybrid research approach of surveys and expert judgment, discusses the most popular barriers in BIM adoption in the construction industry in Vietnam, which include five internal and five external barriers. The country’s BIM roadmap, policies and relevant legal documents that are currently in effective are then collected and analyzed in line with the discovered barriers in order to explore their effectiveness in creating an enabling environment for BIM adoption and implementation in the local conditions. After that, legal considerations on the clarity and feasibility roadmap for BIM adoption, the reasonableness of the strategy/plan to grow the industry’s BIM capacity, the system of relevant laws and regulations to govern the BIM-enabled construction projects, the need for a new set of standards and codes for BIM-related processes, and an incentive system for the pioneers in BIM adoption in public sector are discussed. Recommendations on the legal document system, governmental policies, incentives and supports from the Government to encourage the construction industry to apply BIM are then presented. Further research can be developed beyond this research to validate the research results in a broader coverage.

“…The use of the integrated interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques by researchers in the area of construction has been gaining ground in recent years. Quite a number of researchers in the field of construction [26,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] have used the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques to examine the hierarchical structure between the impediments to a given system or process. Also, the techniques have been used to transform the impediments into clearly visible, easy to understand and quickly interpretable models, based on direct and indirect relationships among the impediments of a system.…”

Coconut palm wood is commonly regarded as a sustainable building material. Nonetheless, its adoption as a green building material by the construction industry is limited, particularly in West Africa. This paper analyses the impediments to the effective adoption of coconut palm wood in residential building construction. The research data was collected from literature reviews, expert-based surveys, and semi-structured interviews with specialists from the construction sector, African Timber Organization, governmental institutions related to forestry and construction, university professors, and researchers in the areas of sustainable building materials and construction. Thirteen crucial impediments were identified and an integrated evaluation of the impediments was conducted using the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique to examine the hierarchical structure of the relations between the impediments. A further technique, Cross-impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification (MICMAC), was used to categorize the impediments from a driving to driven perspective. This categorization provides a unique profile for the impediments, which is different from that of conventional evaluation techniques for evaluating impediments. The findings of this paper offer useful guide to practitioners and policy makers in formulating effective policies, regulations, and standards that will promote the development and wide adoption of coconut palm wood in the construction industry.
