PurposeThe construction industry is unique but with uncertainties. This is because of the operating environment. This intricacy gives rise to several construction risks and is compounded in developing countries’ turbulent times. If not managed, these risks enhanced in turbulent times could negatively impact the Nigerian construction projects’ cost, time, quality, and performance. Hence, this study investigated the perceived encumbrances facing construction risk management techniques and identified measures to promote sustainable-based construction risk management in turbulent times.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers adopted a qualitative approach and achieved saturation with 28 participants. The participants were government policymakers, quantity surveyors in government ministries/agencies/departments, consultant engineers, consultant architects, consultant and contracting quantity surveyors, and construction contractors knowledgeable about construction risk management. The research employed a thematic analysis for the study’s data.FindingsFindings identified turbulent times related to the industry and major techniques for managing construction project risks in the Nigerian construction industry. It revealed lax adoption and implementation of practices. Also, the study identified major encumbrances facing construction risk and proffered initiatives that would promote sustainable-based construction risk management in turbulent times.Originality/valueThis study investigates encumbrances and suggests measures to promote construction project risk management in turbulent times in Nigeria. Also, the study contributes to the literature’s paucity, uncovering perceived encumbrances and evolving organisations’ management styles to imbed sustainable-based risk management practices by qualitative research design method.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the drivers influencing the adoption of building information modelling (BIM) for post-construction management in the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry, specifically focusing on International Facility Management Association (IFMA) registered professionals in Abuja, Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach was employed, using a purposive sampling technique. In total, 132 valid responses were analysed using statistical tools such as Cronbach’s alpha, mean, one sample t-test, Kruskal–Wallis, factor and correction analysis. Findings Result shows that flexibility among industry stakeholders towards adopting new technology and safety/emergency management are the most critical drivers. All the identified drivers were significant (p < 0.05). Kruskal–Wallis’s analysis shows that professionals have similar opinions on the BIM drivers. Factor analysis categorises the drivers into seven components: availability and usage of software, increased efficiency, improved performance, safety and resources, change in method of operation, improved profitability and government intervention. Positive correlations connect BIM software availability with efficiency, performance, safety, resource management, operational changes, profitability and government support. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this study is the focus on a specific group of professionals in Abuja, which may limit the generalisability of findings to the broader Nigerian AECO industry. Future research should consider a more diverse sample. In addition, qualitative research methods could provide deeper insights into the qualitative aspects of BIM adoption. Originality/value This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the drivers influencing BIM adoption in the post-construction phase, particularly in Nigeria.
