“…More so, as pointed out by Ozorhon and Karahan (2016) and Rogers et al (2015), the more the number of professionals with requisite experience in SSP, the easier its implementation. Similar findings were observed in studies evaluating related SSP adoption in countries such as Ethiopia (Belay et al, 2021), India (Daptardar and Gore, 2019), Singapore (Liao et al, 2021) and China (Cao et al, 2021) construction industries.…”

“…Also, incorporating Internet of things (IoT) and allocating resources for SSP is considered significant to SSP adoption in the Ghanaian context (Antwi-Afari et al , 2021). In India and Lebanon, developing the technical skills and stakeholders engagement are key factors (Daptardar and Gore, 2019; Shibani et al , 2021); while top management support is vital to SSP implementation in China and Singapore (Cao et al , 2021; Liao et al , 2021).…”

“…Currently, there are no industry BIM standards in Nigeria; although there are some relevant BIM standards in Hong Kong developed by the CIC, it has not received an industry-wide acceptance. Similarly, in Brazil, Ethiopia, and Singapore construction industries, the lack of BIM standards or lack of legal support for its usage are noted as key limiting factors for SSP implementation (Arrotéia et al , 2021; Belay et al , 2021; Liao et al , 2021). As BIM is a critical component of SSP implementation (Wong and Zhou, 2015), as advanced in this study, stakeholders should devote resources towards developing BIM standards that suit their local context.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the key facilitating factors for smart sustainable practices (SSP) and develop a project evaluation model (PEM) for SSP implementation in Nigeria and Hong Kong. SSP is coined from the integration of digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) to facilitate sustainability practices.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative research design approach using empirical questionnaire surveys to solicit the opinions of 69 and 97 construction practitioners in Nigeria and Hong Kong. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify the potential survey respondents. The fuzzy synthetic evaluation technique was used to develop the PEMs.FindingsThe findings revealed that adequate technical expertise of the SSP processes is critical in enhancing its implementation in Hong Kong and Nigeria; as well as the provision of training programs for specialists in smart and sustainable initiatives. Meanwhile, the study's findings advocated that for an SSP-enabled construction project, its project performance is mainly influenced by the client's satisfaction level and the early involvement of the project teams.Research limitations/implicationsThe study's results are limited to the Nigeria and Hong Kong construction industries.Practical implicationsConstruction stakeholders such as the clients, developers, contractors can utilize the PEMs to determine and track SSP initiatives implementation in building projects in a reliable and practical way.Originality/valueNo tool has been developed for evaluating SSP initiatives at the project level in the construction industry. Using case studies of Hong Kong and Nigeria, PEM indices were developed to measure and track SSP implementation in construction projects.

“…The recent paper of ASCE 2021, findings enable practitioners to better understand BIM diffusion and reduce their NVA BIM implementation activities for enhanced construction productivity. but there is some limitation of this paper i.e., category, hierarchy an interrelationship among the critical cause of NVA BIM implementation activities were not explored, design model does not fit for intended downstream users (architect/engineers and designers) and design change can expensive once fabrication has commenced [3]. The research article described the information flows in a BIM enabled construction projects and I found one gap in this project is study is limited to its scope on the contractor's informational relationships to its most influential relationships with lead designer and supplier/subcontractor, which causes informational outputs as depicted by the literature and respondents.so need for future research arises on the contractor's extensive informational relationships in a BIM project environment After analysing all the research papers in reference to the use and role of building informational modelling in construction industry, it was found that there is no seamless communication between the main contractor and subcontractor.…”

Role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Sub-Contractor Management

Construction industry being an excellent example of supply chain has various key components which are interlinked and interdependent on each other. The whole chain is glued on communication among each other. Any lack in the flawlessness of this communication breaks the chain and the whole system gets affected. The work breakdown structure of this industry is structured in a hierarchical manner and works on decentralization of the authority. The most common lack of communication has been observed between the Contractor and Sub-contractors which causes multiple issues during delivery. Thus, this study has established a workflow through which BIM (Building Information Modelling) can be employed to improve communication between the Contractor and Sub-contractor of a project.

“…It has been widely recognized that C&D waste has significant social impacts, and thus effective C&D WM should also have social benefits, which are worth future research. Furthermore, few studies have explored the emerging technologies for C&D WM in Australia, including the information and communications technologies (ICTs) and data analytical techniques that help enhance WM performance (Li et al, 2020; Liao et al, 2021) and the biotechnologies that can produce biofuels using biomass waste from construction sites (Hong and Wu, 2020; Peres et al, 2020; Zhang et al, 2021).…”

Construction and demolition activities generate huge quantities of waste with substantial impacts on environment. This mini-review article covers the literatures relating to construction and demolition waste management practice in Australia. The Scopus search engine was used in literature search and 26 journal articles relating to construction and demolition waste management in Australia were targeted for analysis. Additionally, various government acts, regulations, policies, and strategy documents were collected and analyzed. This review indicated that the inconsistencies in legislation and landfill levies across states and territories contributed to the cross-jurisdiction waste movement. Given the stakeholders’ attitude and project life cycle, this review reported that the design phase had the greatest potential to minimize waste and that the role of designers had been highlighted in various empirical studies. This review provides practitioners and academics with an understanding of the current construction and demolition waste management research in Australia and recommends directions for future research.
