There is a high level of homelessness in South Africa. Sandbag building technologies (SBTs) have been offered as economical and sustainable alternative building materials capable of speeding housing provision in South Africa. However, their degree of adoption in South Africa remains relatively low. Furthermore, limited research has examined the low adoption and social acceptance of SBTs, requiring thorough research. Therefore, this research investigates the key social barriers to accepting SBTs in housing provision. The study adopted a mixed method research approach that employs a comprehensive literature review in identifying 18 social barriers to using SBTs and a questionnaire survey of 228 building experts based in South Africa to obtain empirical data. The study findings indicated that the significant impediments were related to the lack of understanding of the benefits of sandbags, a lack of sandbag courses and training, and a lack of professional knowledge and skills, among others. A comparative analysis of the perceptions of the diverse categories of survey participants was conducted and discussed. This study’s evaluation of significant barriers offers government agencies and construction partners a framework to make realistic and well-informed decisions toward more sustainable and affordable housing delivery.

This study aimed to examine the state of value management in the Nigerian construction industry and to identify the challenges and prospects associated with its implementation. The study found that there is a lack of research on value management in the Nigerian construction industry, with a focus on the challenges and barriers rather than the benefits and best practices. The study also found that value management is not widely implemented in the industry, with limited understanding of the factors impacting its implementation. Specific challenges and barriers to the implementation of value management in the Nigerian construction industry were identified, such as lack of standardization and lack of expertise. Additionally, the study found that there is a limited adoption of international standards and best practices in value management, which could improve the performance of the industry. The study also found that there is a lack of training and education programs for construction professionals in value management, which is essential for effective implementation. Finally, the study found that there is a limited use of technology and data analytics to support value management in the Nigerian construction industry. Overall, the study highlights the need for further research, training and the adoption of international standards and best practices in order to improve the implementation of value management in the Nigerian construction industry.

“…Value management is an organized effort to analyse functions, value, costs, and sustainability. It can address critical obstacles in the implementation of value management of construction projects by enhancing the value of construction projects based on the level of knowledge and experience of the stakeholders involved (Li et al, 2022). However, there are barriers to the implementation of value management in the construction industry, such as a lack of awareness, knowledge, and skills, as well as resistance to change.…”

A construction project is a complex task that involves many stages and participants, from project developers to construction workers. Success of such a project depends on value-oriented management of the project. This study investigates the methods that can help achieve more effective management of construction projects taking into account the interests of all project participants.The research utilizes document analysis, content and comparative analysis, risk assessment, synthesis, stakeholder evaluation, innovation assessment, and ethical scrutiny to study project implementation, supporting informed decision-making and effective communication.The paper unravels the use of a value-oriented approach and the decomposition of works as important aspects of the construction projects. To improve project content management, a new approach is proposed that takes into account the values and requirements of all stakeholders. This allows the project manager and the team to more effectively manage project risks and create values, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders.It argues that achieving the goals of owners and users is the most important factor in creating values through a project. In order to achieve the maximum efficiency, it is necessary to take into account the values of the users and integrate them into the strategies of the project owner, the content of the project and control throughout the life cycle of the project.
