Advancing Neurodiversity In Construction: A Call Beyond Silent Exclusion, Lungie Maseko, James Rotimi, David Root
Advancing Neurodiversity In Construction: A Call Beyond Silent Exclusion, Lungie Maseko, James Rotimi, David Root
CIB Conferences
Neurodivergent workers are increasingly recognized in workplace inclusion debates, yet construction remains underexplored as a context where cognitive difference is shaped by project-based work, site intensity and entrenched operational norms. This study examines how neurodiversity is understood and operationalized in construction organizations, focusing on organizational climate, leadership, communication practices and material work conditions. A qualitative exploratory design was used, based on semi-structured interviews with fifteen senior construction professionals across office and site environments. Thematic analysis identified recurring patterns influencing inclusion. Findings show that neuro-inclusion is constrained by interacting organizational and operational conditions rather than isolated factors. Low awareness, uneven psychological …

Conceptualising Stress, Anxiety, And Depression In The Construction Industry And Evidence And Gaps, Cillian Keane, John Spillane
CIB Conferences
Mental Health challenges, particularly stress, anxiety, and depression, are prominent within the construction industry globally. Despite growing awareness of mental health in the construction industry, existing literature remains fragmented, with these constructs often investigated in isolation rather than how they co-occur and compound over time within the pressures of construction work. Building on the need to synthesise fragmented knowledge, this study conducted a structured narrative review of research on construction mental health literature related to stress, anxiety, and depression. Searches were undertaken across Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, for studies published from 2000 to 2026 using terms related to …

Research On The Practical Use Of Flood- And Storm-Resilient Houses, Bui Bao Ngoc, Trinh Thi Phin, Dinh Tuan Hai
CIB Conferences
Climate change has significantly intensified the frequency and severity of extreme weather events in Vietnam’s coastal regions, posing critical risks to vulnerable communities. In response, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), supported the construction of approximately 4,000 storm- and flood-resilient houses across Central Vietnam. While the technical specifications of these structures are well documented, empirical research on their long-term operational performance remains limited. This study conducts a Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) to assess the effectiveness, usability, and sustainability of these housing models. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining documentary analysis, structured surveys of …

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, …
Enhancing Worker Wellbeing: The Impact Of Technological Ergonomic Interventions On Health, Safety And Productivity In The Construction Industry, Rose Matete, John Smallwood
Enhancing Worker Wellbeing: The Impact Of Technological Ergonomic Interventions On Health, Safety And Productivity In The Construction Industry, Rose Matete, John Smallwood
CIB Conferences
Ergonomic hazards such as repetitive motions, awkward postures, forceful exertions, and prolonged static positions continue to drive musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and productivity losses in construction. This structured narrative review synthesises literature from 2002–2025 relative to technological and participatory ergonomic interventions, drawing on major academic databases and International Labour Organization reports. Evidence shows that wearable sensors, exoskeletons, Virtual Reality training, Building Information Modelling, and Internet of Things enabled monitoring reduce biomechanical strain, enhance hazard recognition, and improve productivity, though adoption is limited by cost, worker acceptance, and organisational culture. Integrating ergonomics at the design stage and combining technology with participatory approaches …

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 …

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 …
