“…In addition, WOS has been confirmed as the most convenient database used for the bibliometric analysis of documents (AlRyalat et al, 2019). Many scholars have chosen the WOS database for their literature reviews (Li et al, 2022;Liang et al, 2020;Olawumi et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2020a;Zhao, 2017;Zhong et al, 2019). The search was limited to the years 2001-2023 and was conducted on 8/1/2023.…”

The increased complexity of construction projects has caused various management challenges. To clarify the mechanism of construction system complexity and improve the ability to manage the complexity of construction projects, the Agent-based modeling (ABM) method has been introduced and used in the construction management field. Nevertheless, a systematic, holistic, and panoramic understanding of the use of the ABM model in the construction management field is still lacking. To address this research gap, this study reviewed 133 historical explorations retrieved from the database of Web of Science. By using the multiple objectives of construction management as the literature classification framework, the study described the research status of the agent-based modeling method in the field of construction management. On this basis, this paper suggested the improvement paths in the application of this method from three aspects. It is expected that this study will provide a theoretical basis for enhancing understanding of the use of the ABM method in construction management, and also provide insights for future explorations in the area.

“…However, new business models, derivations of business models or innovations in developing business models have always been a very low priority in the construction industry; the industry is in a "survival mode" as businesses go from job to job to maintain viability [20]. A recent study that conducted a bibliometric review of 257 construction innovation-related studies reported only seven articles discussing business models [21]. The adoption of offsite construction and the increasing need for circular economy approaches necessitated the consideration of alternative business models; these involve a complex network of collaborating entities, and new business models are needed to motivate these participants to refrain from self-serving actions and optimise their input to the client's value creation process [22][23][24][25].…”

A business model represents an organisation’s value logic with a value proposition as the central dimension. The construction industry has been categorised as fragmented, slow to move and destructively competitive, idealising only cost-based perceptions of performance; however, recent trends indicate a paradigm shift in the sector emphasising value-based perspectives such as early engagement, design for manufacture and assembly, and a lifecycle approach by promoting a conscious discourse on business model innovation. This paper presents a systematic review and integration of research on business models in the construction industry. The findings illuminate the potential of business models as creative tools for strategy formulation, the importance of strategic partnerships in novel business models, and the bridging role that business models play between technology integration and strategy formulation. Based on the findings, the paper proposes future research directions, including understanding how managers can steer conflicts towards cooperative competition (coopetition), exploring various pathways (leaping and drifting) for business model innovation and project-based business model innovation. The paper establishes that using a business model approach to facilitate strategic transformation can help construction firms resolve some of the most pressing challenges, such as customer dissatisfaction, fragmentation, and slow technology uptake.
