Factors Influencing State Management Of Construction Activities In Hanoi In Line With Sustainable Urban Development, Tuan Anh Ha, Phuong Ngoc Nguyen, Phuong Thi Nguyen, Hai Tuan Dinh
Factors Influencing State Management Of Construction Activities In Hanoi In Line With Sustainable Urban Development, Tuan Anh Ha, Phuong Ngoc Nguyen, Phuong Thi Nguyen, Hai Tuan Dinh
CIB Conferences
State management of construction activities plays an important role in guiding sustainable urban development. In Hanoi, this requirement has become increasingly urgent due to rapid urbanization and growing pressure on urban space, infrastructure, and the environment. This study analyzes the factors influencing state management of construction activities in Hanoi in line with sustainable urban development. The study employs a document-based analysis and synthesis approach combined with an analytical framework consisting of three layers of factors: foundational factors, implementation factors, and contextual factors. The findings show that these factors are interrelated and interact with one another. Among them, institutions, legal policies, …
Bim Adoption Category For Health And Safety Management In South African Sme Construction Enterprises, Nosabelo Sila, Justus Agumba, Oluseyi Adebowale
Bim Adoption Category For Health And Safety Management In South African Sme Construction Enterprises, Nosabelo Sila, Justus Agumba, Oluseyi Adebowale
CIB Conferences
This study examined the categorisation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) adopters for health and safety (H&S) management within small and medium construction enterprises (SMCEs) using Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. The research aims to identify adopter categories in the context of BIM adoption for construction safety management. A simple random sampling method was adopted to collect data from 303 respondents representing SMCEs in Gauteng, South Africa. Five adopter categories were analysed: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Factor loadings and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were computed to assess construct validity and internal consistency. The results revealed clear adopter …
Challenges And Opportunities In Delivering Construction Education Virtually: Insights From A Constructivist Inquiry-Based Framework, Ayesha Mall, Theodore Haupt
Challenges And Opportunities In Delivering Construction Education Virtually: Insights From A Constructivist Inquiry-Based Framework, Ayesha Mall, Theodore Haupt
CIB Conferences
This paper explores the dual nature of virtual instruction in South African construction education, examining how it simultaneously presents challenges and opportunities through the lens of constructivist inquiry-based learning (IBL). As higher education undergoes digital transformation, the study investigates how virtual platforms can serve as powerful enablers of active, reflective, and collaborative learning while also exposing systemic limitations such as uneven access, instructor preparedness, and inconsistent institutional support. The research follows a sequential mixed-methods design. In the first phase, a panel of academic and industry experts engaged in a Delphi process to validate six key pedagogical constructs central to virtual …
Impediments To The Growth Of Trained Local Construction Contractors In Developing Economies, Richard Ndhlovu, Innocent Musonda, Adetayo Onososen
Impediments To The Growth Of Trained Local Construction Contractors In Developing Economies, Richard Ndhlovu, Innocent Musonda, Adetayo Onososen
CIB Conferences
The construction industry in developing economies remains a vital sector for sustainable infrastructure development; however, it is often dominated by foreign enterprises. This study identifies systemic obstacles in contractor growth. The study adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews held with purposively selected twelve (12) industrial experts in the construction sector, with contractors being the key interviewees. After conducting a thematic analysis of responses, six key factors were identified: financial indiscipline, the high cost of borrowing, erratic and delayed payments by clients, inadequate assurance of work opportunities, insufficient collateral to borrow from lending institutions, and insufficient construction …
Stakeholder Perspectives On Local Contractor Capacity Development Initiatives In Zambia, Richard Ndhlovu, Innocent Musonda, Adetayo Onososen
Stakeholder Perspectives On Local Contractor Capacity Development Initiatives In Zambia, Richard Ndhlovu, Innocent Musonda, Adetayo Onososen
CIB Conferences
Strengthening the capabilities of indigenous contractors is crucial for sustainable economic growth and reducing dependence on imported expertise in developing countries. This study analyses stakeholder perspectives on improving contractor capacity and identifies the systemic barriers that lead to higher failure rates. This study employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews to gather data from eighteen (18) industrial specialists purposefully selected from contractors, consultants, clients, and funding organizations. Significant findings indicate nine principal themes extracted from interview replies. The study highlights that achieving a holistic training design requires multidimensional delivery to produce a structured learning environment that enhances skill acquisition. The …
The Effectiveness Of Health And Safety Practices On Peaking Power Stations, Nkosinathi Ndlovu, Claire Deacon, John Smallwood
The Effectiveness Of Health And Safety Practices On Peaking Power Stations, Nkosinathi Ndlovu, Claire Deacon, John Smallwood
CIB Conferences
Peaking Power Stations (PPSs) are required to undertake maintenance known as ‘outages’, on a regular basis. Injuries occur during general maintenance and outage activities. Such injuries in turn result in managers at PPSs perceiving health and safety (H&S) management as ineffective. The effectiveness of H&S management systems, particularly accident and incident reporting mechanisms, is critical for enhancing H&S performance in high-risk sectors such as power generation. Poor H&S performance could further result in lower production, higher insurance costs, and a detrimental financial impact on the economy, forcing workers to retire early with persistent disabilities. The aim of the study reported …
