“…This study provides the technology implementation status and perceived benefits in New Zealand construction organisations. However, the successful implementation of technologies in engineering practice could be impeded by various barriers, such as the industry's resistance to change [38,39] and lack of knowledge of the processes and workflows of the technology [40,41]. The practical implementation of technologies could also require changes in building regulation, education and training, as well as contracting and procurement.…”

New and emerging technologies such as digital technologies and new construction techniques have altered the way buildings are designed and constructed. However, to what extent they are practically implemented in the construction sector remains unknown. By employing a qualitative interview approach, this study attempts to examine the current status and perceived benefits of technology implementation in the New Zealand construction industry. The results manifest high adoption rates of technologies for basic design, group collaboration, and data visualisation, acquisition and management. Benefits of improvements in work efficiency, productivity, quality, and health and safety are highly appreciated by the interviewees as being primary. The findings of this study contribute to an improved understanding of the practical needs, trends and motivations for technology adoption among construction organisations in New Zealand. Such knowledge and understanding can inform the decision making of government agencies and industry body organisations in facilitating technology adoption, allocating resources for effective technological transformation in the sector.

“…Next, a change in quantities of work (sfl = 0.796) is an observation that is a result of unplanned population expansion in the area where a highway expansion or greenfield projects are planned. A rise in the number of unplanned settlements in the vicinity of a road project creates several constraints, e.g., errant traffic assessment, design errors in culverts and overpasses [86][87][88][89]. These errors further influence the alignment design, creating a variation in the quantities of work.…”

Highway construction projects have always suffered from cost overruns due to extended project delivery, causing a loss of public funds. Since highways are the backbone of a nation, the purpose of this study is to measure the criticality of the factors that influence the performance of highway projects. A survey instrument was prepared and distributed to 185 project managers. To achieve the aim of the study, exploratory factor analysis was used and the standard factor loading was the criteria to measure the criticality. From the analysis, it was identified that the factors were grouped under four categories: (a) Execution constraints (b) Operational factors, (c) Stakeholder and political constraints, (d) Design Constraints. Further, it was concluded that the complexity of the sub-contractor’s performance, frequent modification in alignment, project design, loopholes in safety, and ambiguities in specifications are the main factors that impact the performance of highway projects. Therefore, it was recommended to develop an efficient project planning methodology which is a continuum of project management skills and tacit knowledge of managing a site which operates efficiently.

“…The construction industry's productivity has been studied and documented all over the world, and it advantages from over four decades of studies that has developed models, identified the factors affecting productivity, industry-level studies, the study of equipment and technology to improve productivity, and techniques to measure and improve construction productivity. As a result, construction and labour productivity are both increased [40], [41]. Several studies have been conducted to determine the factors that influence construction productivity, and the findings include the business culture, education level, tools and technologies used, values and ethics of the people and workers involved, politics, local laws and regulations governing the project, HR policies of the organization, importance given to the employee, religion of the peasant, and religion of the peasant.…”

The study's purpose is to analyze the impact of productivity in Indian transportation infrastructure projects. The study's methodology is to identify and analyse productivity attributes based on a literature review and expert focus group interviews. The identified attributes were identified and examined based on the respondents' relative weight. The data was gathered using a structured questionnaire across India, using both online and offline methods. SPSS 21 software was used to analyse the collected data. To analyse the collected data, quantitative research methodology was used, and the following tools and techniques were applied to the data: Reliability analysis was used to ensure the consistency of the data collected for the study, and the Relative importance index (RII) was used to set priorities and rank the attributes based on the weighted average score provided by the respondents. The study's findings show that planning and scheduling have the greatest impact on productivity in Indian transportation infrastructure projects, followed by construction methodology, storage area, poor construction method, and direction and coordination, with relative importance indexes (RII) of 0.79, 0.78, 0.77, 0.76, and 0.74, respectively. This study contributes to the current knowledge bank by identifying and analysing the impact of productivity in Indian transportation infrastructure projects. The study provides a solution for construction managers and project managers to apply the study's findings to their projects in order to control the issues of low productivity and project delays
