“…Constructions are dynamic with different variables that influence the CDW management, so methods that consider real-time information from BIM used integrated to a technique with dynamic simulation can obtain better results, like in Porwal (2013) and Zoghi and Kim (2020).…”

The Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is increasingly improving techniques and tools to reduce impacts of activities in the environment and to minimize construction and demolition waste (CDW). One of these innovations is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which can automate construction and waste management throughout the lifecycle. A literature review at a scientific database was realized considering the period from 2009 to 2020 to verify the application of BIM in waste management at construction sites. The results reveal that most of the publications are from the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. The literature review showed that the main application of BIM to CDW management is at the design stage however, BIM can engage team participation and coordination of activities at all stages of the construction life cycle. Although the use of BIM in CDW allows better control of materials, the studies reveal the necessity to develop better indicators to represent real situations at construction sites and incorporate sustainability practices in the building model. The results also showed that the main barrier to integrate BIM and CDW management is the interoperability between BIM tools, which is an opportunity for future research in this area of study.

“…For example, building information modeling (BIM) software can help companies to design and construct buildings more efficiently, while sensors and data analytics can help to optimize building performance and energy use (Adekunle et al, 2021). By using these digital tools and technologies, companies can reduce waste, improve productivity, and make more informed decisions (Porwal et al, 2023). Finally, construction companies are increasingly using sustainable materials like recycled steel, bamboo and reclaimed wood as they are more environmentally friendly than traditional construction materials, and they are often cheaper and more durable (Ametepey et al, 2015;Ifije and Aigbavboa, 2020).…”

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an assessment aimed at evaluating potential drivers for the adoption of environmental economic practices in the construction industry, with a view to enhancing sustainability of construction projects, using the Nigerian construction industry as a case study. This study utilized a post‐positivist philosophical approach and a quantitative research design to collect data from construction professionals in the Nigerian construction industry through a well‐structured questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using various statistical tests, including the Kruskal–Wallis H test, Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W), Chi‐square (χ2), and exploratory factor analysis. Five major clusters of drivers for the adoption of environmental economic practices were derived in this study. These are (1) operational drivers, (2) stakeholder drivers, (3) market and financial drivers, (4) regulatory and policy drivers, and (5) technological drivers. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the potential drivers for the adoption of environmental economic practices in the construction industry, particularly from the perspective of a developing country such as Nigeria. Overall, this study contributes to the promotion of environmental sustainability in the construction industry, particularly in developing countries, which can have significant implications for global sustainability efforts.

“…Saad et al [76] used SD to simulate the ripple impact of design changes in healthcare construction projects, which can be used to allow proactive decision making for better design change management. Porwal et al [77] used SD to analyse the dynamic behaviour of system variables due to changes in the scope of works in order to minimize construction waste generation. Moreover, recent literature indicates a stagnation of research in the area of rework causation, which can be the result of using tools such as questionnaire surveys for identifcation and ranking of causal factors [78] and relying on the abundance of research previously performed.…”

Researchers have increasingly used system dynamics (SD) as a modelling tool to understand the behaviour of systems with varying degrees of dynamism and complexity. SD has had a particularly significant impact in improving system representation, modelling, and abstraction of problems within the construction domain. However, there is a lack of comprehensive systematic literature review and content analysis on application of SD in construction engineering and management (CEM). In this study, a systematic literature review and content analysis were used to investigate 213 journal articles published from 1995 through 2021, presenting applications of SD in CEM research. This included analysis of SD research in terms of contributing authors and their affiliations; identifying the major CEM research areas and patterns of SD research within those areas; study of the current focus of SD research, future trends, and potential for future research in these CEM areas; investigating the SD modelling paradigm in terms of hybridization with other modelling techniques; and a review of issues and challenges of SD modelling. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by (1) addressing the lack of a comprehensive systematic review and content analysis in the application of SD in CEM research, (2) providing construction researchers and practitioners with the state-of-the-art in SD research and application within the construction industry, and (3) assessing the potential for SD hybridization with other modelling approaches and proposing areas of future research to improve SD modelling capabilities. This study found that (1) the concept of SD was mostly used in the research areas of decision making and policy analysis, performance, and rework and change, (2) the areas of scheduling and health and safety have acquired more interest in SD relative to previous trends, and (3) researchers have the lowest interest in the research area of bidding and procurement.
