“…However, there are some critiques that need to be considered. The reliance on sensor technology and GPS inevitably brings complexities in system integration and data management, which can potentially result in interoperability issues and data overload (Shvets and Hanák, 2023;Alzubi et al, 2022). Environmental factors such as signal interference and device malfunction may also limit the effective operation of IoT-driven systems (Sarrab and Alnaeli, 2018;Kant et al, 2024).…”

The rapid increase in global urbanization, along with the growth of the construction industry, highlights the urgent need for effective management of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. Intelligent technologies offer a viable solution to this critical challenge. However, there remains a significant challenge in integrating these technologies into a cohesive framework. This study conducts a quantitative analysis of 214 papers from 2000 to 2023, highlighting the extensive use of artificial intelligence (AI) and building information modeling (BIM), along with geographic information systems (GIS) and big data (BD). A further qualitative analysis of 73 selected papers investigates the use of seven different intelligent technologies in the context of C&D waste management (CDWM). To overcome current limitations in knowledge, future research should concentrate on (1) the comprehensive integration of technology, (2) inclusive studies throughout all lifecycle phases of CDWM, and (3) the continued examination of new technologies, such as blockchain. Based on these insights, this study suggests a strategic framework for the effective implementation of intelligent technologies in CDWM. This framework aims to assist professionals in merging various technologies, undertaking lifecycle-wide research, and narrowing the divide between existing and new technologies. It also lays a solid foundation for future academic work to examine specific intelligent technologies, conduct comparative studies, and refine strategic decisions. Regular updates on technological developments are essential for stakeholders to consistently enhance CDWM standards.

“…Similarly, the construction industry could also be enhanced by adopting IR 4.0, especially in the construction waste management (CWM) domain [3]. The industry over the next decade will witness the integration of various IR 4.0 technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), artificial intelligence, airborne equipment, and smart devices that have tremendous potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the construction sector, allowing prudent use of construction material and energy [27][28][29][30]. The traditional behaviour of the construction industry players often resists adopting the new technologies [31].…”

Construction waste management is a global concern not only because it impacts the financial efficiency of construction projects, but also because of its negative influence on the environment. The construction industry is a major contributor to environmental pollution due to its carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, effective construction waste management solutions are required for sustainable development by preventing material waste. Hence, this study employed the Analytical Hierarchy Process to prioritize the possible construction waste, factors leading to its generation and the most effective IR 4.0 solution. A questionnaire was constructed, and after refinement, it was then distributed among the engineers, contractors, professors, and other industry professionals. The results from the analysis provide us with the list of factors ranked on their comparative weightage and score. The wastage of cement due to moisture is found to be the highest ranked potential waste. Moreover, changes in orders by the client are termed as the most highly ranked cause of rework and material wastage. Similarly, the Industrial Building Systems are the best solution for efficient construction waste management that Industrial Revolution 4.0 can provide. The results of this study can help to enhance project control by providing information on possible construction wastes and the factors that lead to their generation.

“…Construction activities are dynamic environments with many people, tools, and machines operating at the same time, making worksite management difficult (Alzubi et al 2022). Sustainable development strives to utilise natural resources in a logical manner that does not impact the environment in the short or long term (Silva et al 2022).…”

Total Quality Management could be defined as a transformation in management style aimed at constantly increasing customer satisfaction via the design and improvement of organizational systems and processes. It is critical to use an industrialized building system to increase project successful implementation. Awareness of TQM advantages and its application could greatly improve project efficiency and performance. A literature search on TQM was done to determine the TQM implementation present state and level of awareness in IBS construction projects. The purpose of this study is to identify the current TQM implementation status in IBS projects and determine its level of awareness and potential benefits from the Malaysian construction stakeholders’ perception. A mixed approach was applied in this research with the participation of consultants, contractors, clients, and academicians from various construction industry public and private sectors in Malaysia. The questionnaire survey was used to conduct the study. A total of 371 questionnaires were collected, for a sample size of 265. The findings indicated that most construction organizations are unaware of the TQM approach. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient achieved from the study was (0.934), indicating that the questionnaire was reliable. The statistical analysis revealed that increased efficiency, improved customer satisfaction, enhanced teamwork, increased profitability, and improved safety are the most essential TQM benefits that concerned the participants. Furthermore, the results of this study provide IBS construction practitioners with significant awareness of the components that empower TQM implementation in the construction sector. This study contributes to the understanding of TQM and project performance by demonstrating their capacity to enhance the Malaysian construction sector. Additionally, it was found that the Malaysian construction industry has not achieved a high level of quality implementation programs.
