“…An area of deficiency that has been identified pertains to the necessity of scrutinizing the principal motivators and facilitators of Industry 4.0 implementation within the construction sector of China. Prior research has identified key factors crucial to driving successful digitalization efforts, including organizational culture, leadership support, and technological readiness [24]. Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier, these factors could exhibit distinct manifestations within the Chinese milieu, owing to the distinctive attributes and predicaments of the domestic construction sector [15,20].…”

The potential of Industry 4.0 digitization practices to improve sustainability and enhance overall project performance has garnered significant attention in the construction industry. Nonetheless, there is a necessity for empirical investigations that delve into the particular factors and constructs that contribute to this achievement. This research aims to address the existing gap in the literature by examining the favorable consequences of Industry 4.0 digitalization techniques in the context of sustainable construction management. The research utilized a mixed-methods methodology, integrating exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM), to examine survey data obtained from the construction sector in China. The survey questionnaire comprised constructs that pertained to sustainability, technology, design, functional aspects, resource management, and managerial efficiency. The concept of sustainability has been identified as the most significant factor in shaping sustainable construction practices. The findings presented herein contribute to the theoretical comprehension of the determinants that impact the execution of Industry 4.0 digitalization methodologies within the construction sector. The interrelated constructs that have been identified provide valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to utilize Industry 4.0 practices to achieve sustainability, enhance technology adoption, optimize design processes, streamline functional aspects, improve resource utilization, and increase managerial efficiency. Implementing these strategies can enhance project success and ensure long-term sustainability in the construction industry. This research adds to the expanding pool of information regarding the factors that lead to success in Industry 4.0 digitization practices within sustainable construction management.

“…The top five most cited technologies and processes are BIM, cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things (IoT), automation, and robotics/industrial robots. Additionally, the five technologies and processes with the most publications and specific studies are BIM [43,44,[95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108], digital twins [21,92,[109][110][111][112][113][114], automation [19,20,76,[115][116][117][118], robotics [118][119][120][121][122][123][124], cybersecurity [41,42,[125][126][127][128], and Internet of Things (IoT) [75,[129][130]…”

“…The digitalization of design, construction, and management processes is already a consolidated reality through the use of Building Information Management (BIM) [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108]. The integration of BIM with other technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) means an advance in the visual representation and simulation of construction processes, allowing everything from improvements in business strategies (sales and contacts with potential customers) to the prediction of risk situations for workers [26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

Connectivity, digitization, and emerging Industry 4.0 technology such as AI, automation, robotics, IoT, and cyber-physical space have transformed social relations, the means of production, and the world of labor. The construction industry has also been transformed by Industry 4.0 technologies, mainly through Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digitization. This revolution in the construction industry has been called Construction 4.0 and is based on the use of innovative technologies that promote digitalization and automation of design, construction, and management processes. Furthermore, the workforce for the construction industry in the context of Construction 4.0 must have adequate skills for this new scenario. Previous literature reviews have analyzed the idea of transitioning the construction industry to Construction 4.0 and implementing specific technologies in the industry. However, there has been limited exploration of the skills necessary for the Construction 4.0 workforce. This article aims to address this gap by identifying the technologies and skills that have been scientifically researched and applied in the construction industry, specifically related to the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Construction 4.0. Utilizing a scoping literature review in the Scopus database, this study seeks to identify: (i) emergent C4.0 technologies in the AEC industry; and (ii) which skills or competencies are demanded when using these technologies. All of our bibliographical searches are inserted and restricted to the concept of Construction 4.0. A total of 108 articles related to technologies and 15 related to skills in the Construction 4.0 context were selected for analysis. Twenty-one technologies were identified and grouped into five sets according to their similarities and applications: AI-assisted technologies, Advanced manufacture, Smart tools, Digital simulation/Visualization, and Data acquisition/detection. The skills were identified and grouped into soft and hard skills. However, the findings point out that the new skills needed by the workforce are described in a dispersed way, without a central theme of research in the context of Construction 4.0. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the transformations towards Construction 4.0 and provide data for industry and universities to respond appropriately to the new demands of the construction industry.

“…Adopting green energy technologies can also encourage innovation in the energy production industry and create new job opportunities [5]. Due to the failure of renewable energy projects in Pakistan, it has been crucial for the country to overcome ecological complications and energy crises [1,6], and similarly, to improve energy productivity, which reduces carbon dioxide by adopting advanced technology and economic developments [7]. Many studies addressed that Pakistan is facing environmental issues [8].…”

This study investigates the relationship between communication factors, stakeholders’ engagement, and project success (P.S.) of renewable energy in Pakistan. The aim of this study is to identify the communication factors that impact the success of renewable energy projects. The research investigates multiple dimensions of communication factors such as internal communication, external communication, leadership, relationship, and corporation. Moreover, we also tested the indirect relationship using the stakeholder’s engagement (S.E.) as a mediating variable. We used a quantitative approach using the questionnaire survey. The random and snowball sampling technique was used to collect data from the project managers, project engineers, and team leaders associated with renewable projects in Pakistan. We collected data in two phases. In the first phase, between August 2023 and December 2022, we distributed 400 complete research questionnaires. In return, we received 337 questionnaires, 84% of the distributed questionnaires. Similarly, between January 2023 and February 2023, we distributed 350 research questionnaires; in return, we received 255 questionnaires, which is 73% of the distributed questionnaires. However, we collected data from the 592 respondents engaged with renewable energy projects. Further, the structural equation modeling technique (SEM) was performed to analyze the study data through SmartPLS 4.1. The outcomes confirmed that communication factors significantly and positively impact the project’s success. The results guaranteed that communication factors have a positive and significant relationship with the stakeholder’s engagement. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that stakeholders’ engagement mediates communication factors and project success, enhancing the project’s success.
