“…Since the mid-1980s, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA), the main provider of public housing in HK, has mandated the use of prefabricated units, together with standard modular integrated design, for all public housing projects [ 20 ], which greatly enhanced the development of CI applications in HK. On the other hand, the HKHA has been promoting CI in order to provide a more effective platform to enhance construction productivity [ 21 ]. Commonly used PCCs by HKHA involve precast concrete panels, precast façades, precast staircases, panel wall partitions, and semi-precast slabs, which would be incorporated into subsequent public housing development projects together with precast concrete technology [ 22 ].…”

By adopting the concept of ‘factory assembly followed by onsite installation,’ construction industrialisation (CI) plays an increasingly important role in sustainable urban development. CI can enhance construction quality and efficiency while reducing environmental impacts. To promote the CI, several policy interventions have been developed and implemented in different countries and regions. This study reviews the global CI promoting regulations and policies to provide a comprehensive insight into its interrelationship and development tendency. The research selects 105 publications related to practical CI policy from widely utilised databases (i.e., Web of Science and Scopus). Based on the annual publication trend analysis, geospatial distribution, and citation analysis, seven interrelated critical CI policy formulation themes are identified and examined: regulatory policies, standardised policies, promotional policies, urban design and planning policies, technological policies, managerial and educational policies, and sustainability policies. In addition, internal correlations and mutual influence among these seven classified policies are explored and discussed, which helps scholars enhance their grasp of current CI policy research and guide future research. This review provides the research community and industrial practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of various CI-promoting policies and a roadmap to CI-promoting policy development and evaluation.

“…According to this point, BIM functional model and BIM file database can be established to support the visual display of data information by the BIM model. However, in order to provide more effective and timely support for management decisions, BIM visualization requires real-time perception and interaction of data with new technological means [ 27 ]. At present, some scholars [ 28 ] combine the Internet of Things (IoT) to carry out more convenient information collection, such as combining Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), wireless communication technology [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], and intelligent devices [ 32 ].…”

Safety management in hoisting is the key issue to determine the development of prefabricated building construction. However, the security management in the hoisting stage lacks a truly effective method of information physical fusion, and the safety risk analysis of hoisting does not consider the interaction of risk factors. In this paper, a hoisting safety risk management framework based on digital twin (DT) is presented. The digital twin hoisting safety risk coupling model is built. The proposed model integrates the Internet of Things (IoT), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and a security risk analysis method combining the Apriori algorithm and complex network. The real-time perception and virtual–real interaction of multi-source information in the hoisting process are realized, the association rules and coupling relationship among hoisting safety risk factors are mined, and the time-varying data information is visualized. Demonstration in the construction of a large-scale prefabricated building shows that with the proposed framework, it is possible to complete the information fusion between the hoisting site and the virtual model and realize the visual management. The correlative relationship among hoisting construction safety risk factors is analyzed, and the key control factors are found. Moreover, the efficiency of information integration and sharing is improved, the gap of coupling analysis of security risk factors is filled, and effective security management and decision-making are achieved with the proposed approach.

“…Automated data collection techniques are currently popular during the cross-border transportation process [52]. To further reduce the implementation cost of data collection, ensure that real-time information in the transportation process is adequate, and enable effective sharing of information among all involved stakeholders [49], some relationship-based data exchange platforms have been proposed (such as an RFID-enabled BIM platform) [50], in addition to some of the latest information tracking technology applications (such as IoT, RFID, QR code, and NFC) [53]. For precast concrete construction in Hong Kong, logistics usually consist of two procedures: cross-border transportation from the factory in Mainland China to the staging zone in Hong Kong (Logistics A), and local transportation from the staging zone to the construction site (Logistics B) [5].…”

“…The critical attribute of artifacts at the transportation stage is social acceptance. A large amount of effort has been made in terms of both theoretical and technical aspects to promote the operation and management of fleet and logistics management in various fields [49], such as an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart BIM platform [53].…”

Construction Industrialization (CI) tends to improve industrial performance and contributes substantially towards global sustainability. Considering these merits, many countries and regions, including Hong Kong, have released policies to promote CI uptake. However, those policy interventions ignore the dynamic influence of stakeholders and technologies, which significantly influence the efficient management of CI. In response, this study aimed to objectively depict a real socio-technical system of CI uptake based on a representative case study in Hong Kong. Further, this study identified the critical issues associated with the CI uptake and proposed policy-related recommendations to overcome the key issues. In addition, this study proposed a novel approach based on two-mode social network analysis to facilitate the analysis from a socio-technical perspective. Theoretically, this depicts the interactions of construction industry stakeholders and artifacts within a dynamic, complex socio-technical environment, indicating a new stance for construction management. Finally, this research also provides valuable implications for the government to anticipate the impact of different CI policies on promoting its uptake within the complex socio-technical system.
