“…This influence among practitioners has been previously recognised for informal knowledge-sharing (Janda & Parag 2013;Wade et al 2016), and should not be overlooked. Role models have previously been found an important factor in learning from others (Bandura & McClelland 1977), with occupational settings being valuable places for informal learning (Kersh 2017). Theory on experiential learning has emphasised the importance of experience (Kolb 2014), as well the necessity for pragmatic active experimentation (Morris 2020).…”

To deliver effective domestic retrofit at scale, it is essential to understand the current and required capabilities of building practitioners working in the repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) of existing buildings. Capability research in the construction sector has previously focused on large projects, but small, and particularly, micro-firms that undertake RMI and form 77% of workers in construction, are under-researched. This gap is addressed by the present study on the capabilities of the practitioners and the contextual opportunities to deploy capabilities. The study analysed data from interviews (n = 27) with micro-enterprise building practitioners working in the UK's RMI sector. Template analysis was conducted by applying an established model of behaviour change: Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B). Under Capability, three main themes were identified: knowledge, business management and individual characteristics. Under Opportunities, the main themes were state action, market and customer demand, technology diffusion, networks and business management. Under Motivation the themes were pride in work, good working relationships, maintaining a viable business and customer satisfaction. Practitioners are continually learning and problem-solving, developing trust and creating positive professional relationships. Working with these existing capabilities, experiential learning on-site and peer-to-peer training are recommended to scale up capability. For capabilities to be deployed, policy must enable opportunities across the multiple contexts micro-enterprise practitioners operate within, including training and incentives across the supply chain network and in stimulating demand.

“…Social learning theory placed role models as an important factor enabling vicarious learning, that is, learning from others (Bandura & McClelland 1977). Occupational settings, such as RMI work, offer valuable spaces for informal learning (Kersh 2017) that can enable peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.…”
