“…In the construction industry, the business models of builders fundamentally involve purchasing. Hence, it has been the supplier organizations that normally carry most of the risks in the supply chains of construction projects [13,14]. Bildsten (2014) [15], in his previous research of supply chain relationships within the construction industry, justified that there is a traditionally a lack of collaboration amongst builders and their suppliers.…”

Limited empirical and qualitative studies focus on the detailed processes and obstacles for coordinating off-site prefabrication between builders and suppliers. This research aims to identify and address the obstacles that currently prevent the further expansion of off-site prefabrication, with a research scope on timber and mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) services in construction projects. The focal point of this research is to highlight their obstacles. A total of forty interviews were conducted and analyzed from four builders’ organizations and four suppliers’ organizations to ascertain their obstacles in coordinating the practice of off-site prefabrication. The results found the builder’s obstacles were sustainability, quality assurance (QA), mass production, CAD/BIM, technological support, commercial arrangements, system building, buffering in supply, schedule monitoring, productivity, flexibility, engagement, risks, and multiple supply arrangements. The supplier’s obstacles were design, financing and subcontracting, coordination, recognized practices, risks, multiple supply arrangements, and constraints. Moreover, the builders and suppliers had identified some ways to harmonize off-site prefabrication of timber. Some examples of timber prefabrication technology include joinery, doors and/or windows, structural floor/wall/roof frames, partitions, trusses, stairs, balustrades, and others. MEP services with in situ construction comprise the use of power sources and working coordination. The most important outcome of this investigation is that these obstacles can be addressed through collaboration and coordination. This is because there is a traditionally a lack of collaboration amongst builders and their suppliers. Furthermore, there is a lack of coordination between them in general. The research contributes to the improved timber and MEP services collaboration and coordination in off-site prefabrication, which can be referred to by other approaches of modular construction.

“…O relacionamento em suprimentos deve ser imbuído numa relação de "ganha-ganha", onde o cliente e fornecedor trabalham de forma colaborativa para que ambos alcancem seus objetivos, a fim de proporcionar um ganho estratégico na cadeia de suprimentos como um todo (MASOOD; GONZÁLEZ; ROY; KHAN, 2022;FURTADO, 2005). Dyer et al (1998) apontam três tipos de segmentação de relacionamento com fornecedores: arm's length (modelo de mercado), parcerias e quasi-market (quase mercado).…”

“…However, its implementation has been limited and remains a challenge for researchers and practitioners (Studer & De Brito Mello, 2021). Advancements within the construction industry are slowly acknowledged (Masood et al, 2022), although sustainability is commonly used. Analysts considering supply chain (SC) and management state that the execution of local and holistic supply chains could be bet-ter if the conjuncture relations and forms between companies are effectively managed (Chandra & Kumar, 2000;Mentzer et al, 2001;Amiri et al, 2021).…”

Although the importance of supply chain management in the construction sector has been recognized in recent years, its implementation still faces significant challenges. For the long-term evaluation of this creative sector, numerous intricate sustainability components, such as environmental, social, and financial, are necessary. The study focuses on longterm sustainability considerations in the supply chain in the construction sector. This work aims to address this information and examine sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) research in the construction sector in this manner. More than 95 publications were studied from the beginning of 2017 to the end of 2021 using both in-depth content analysis and bibliometric methodologies. Several issues of SSCM in construction have been found including environmental, economic and social patterns which are most commonly known as the triple bottom line, typically enhanced by artificial intelligence. Many challenges were discovered including inefficiencies in the logistics system and a shortage of funding, environmental issues in demolition procedures and difficulties in applying sustainability measures due to high skill, data, and time requirements. The article offers a broad list of potentials for improving the current situation in the construction sector by using various types of supply chains such as increasing investment in energy conservation and emission reduction technologies to drive sustainable development, establishing strong green supply chain relationships, and forming a Covid-19 financial support group for small construction companies among other things. The study’s findings suggested that due to the significance of long-term relationships between construction companies, suppliers and customers, smart technology could make it simpler to reach every supply chain link. After an exhaustive literature review 59 research questions were formulated for the future research. In the future, the importance of these questions could be determined using expert questionnaires and multi-criteria evaluation.
