“…Since innovation is a very difficult and a painful process in the construction sector, companies generally do not want to take risks. Nanotechnology is seen as one of the most important technologies that will drive innovation in the construction sector (Genç et al, 2016). In some studies, insufficient R&D investment is presented as one of the weaknesses of the sector (Forbes and Ahmed, 2011).…”

“…The Turkish construction sector is incompetent in innovation, and the government needs to lead the industry in innovation and R&D. It is seen through studies that there is a lack of trust in the construction sector against new ideas and innovation. It is necessary to establish legal obligations and standards, and ultimately create an awareness of innovation (Genç et al, 2016). It is important to go beyond the financial incentives and supports for innovation and should take steps to create a culture of innovation in the long run.…”

Purpose Application of nanotechnology in construction sector brings innovation to building materials like self-cleaning and antifog. These features make it possible to shorten the maintenance and repair periods of building materials, and thereby reduce maintenance costs. The development of environmentally friendly building materials become very important to reduce air pollution and adverse effects. The competitiveness of companies in the construction sector is based on technological developments. Now, it is possible to reduce costs and respond to various customer demands owing to new technologies. Nanotechnology affects many sectors as a technology that contributes significantly to the development of the properties of materials, and it has also found its place in the construction sector. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of nanomaterials used in the construction sector in the context of glass and curtain wall systems. Also, the aims of this paper are to reveal the advantages of nanomaterials by examining the differences between the traditional and the nanotechnology applications used in

“…When we compare the Turkish construction sector with other sectors, it is observed that it is slow in terms of innovative trends, and technology-oriented innovation development and adaptation remains to be seen. According to the research results of Genç et al, only 14.8% of Turkey construction sector professionals are sufficient with innovation level in the construction sector [1]. However, in today's market conditions, innovating and adapting to it is critical for sustainable firm performance.…”

Interest in construction industry innovation has been growing with the globalization and in parallel with change of the building production processes. However, despite its potential for gaining sustainable company performance, many construction companies have failed by management of innovation. In this context, the main theme of this study is to examine how technology capacity in construction companies changes according to the main innovation areas. The technology capacity and the integration of technology to organization is one of the main determinants of construction innovation. The main purpose of this study is to determine how the existence of different innovation areas in construction companies is related to the technology capacity features. A questioner survey was conducted to collect data from construction professionals, and they were asked assess their company's current position about technology capacity and activity level of predicted innovation areas-product, process, and organization. Independent sample t-test was employed to see the differentiation of technological capacity among different innovation types. The results indicate that the technology capacity of the construction companies, which are active in the fields of product, process, and organizational innovation, is in a varying strength.
