“…This is likely to be especially low in developing countries where new technologies such as BIM and may not be readily available (Olawumi and Chan, 2019). The significant positive correlations between delivery time and all project performance variables highlight the importance of project logistics management, a subject which has received scant attention in construction management and which is likely to be particularly crucial as construction modularises and problematic in developing countries with poor transport infrastructure (Abdul Nabi and El-adaway, 2021).…”

PurposeThis research uses contingency theory and Venkatraman’s concept of moderating fit to explore how key project stakeholders (clients, consultants and suppliers) influence project performance from the perspective of small and medium contractors in the Jordanian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachAn anonymous structured survey was performed comprising 200 key informants including senior project managers, construction managers, engineers and general managers working for small- and medium-sized contractors in the Jordanian construction industry. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data.FindingsThe results of this study show that consultant-related factors (quality of documentation produced, ability to communicate and technical competencies) are perceived to have the most significant direct effect on project performance, followed by client-related factors (payment promptness, decision certainty and documentation control) and supplier-related factors (supplier performance, defects control and logistics management).Originality/valueThe results contribute new theoretical, empirical and practical insights to existing construction project performance research by highlighting the key performance factors which need to be managed for each stakeholder group to ensure effective project performance from a small- and medium-sized contractor perspective.

“…The Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) minimises onsite activities by shifting fundamental costly and time-consuming construction practices offsite. In turn, it positively influences projects' quality, safety, and productivity (Arif and Egbu, 2010;Abdul Nabi and El-adaway, 2021;Iacovidou et al, 2021). However, the uptake of such methods is still very primitive worldwide (Taylor, 2020).…”

Prospects of Promoting MMC across the Public Construction Sector: A Systematic Review against the Diffusion of Innovation Theory

Despite the calls to transform construction and the potential of the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to address traditional construction concerns, the global construction industry is yet to embrace the benefits. The purpose of this review is to theoretically explain MMC low uptake in the public sector by exploring the relative pressure points that are contributing to clients' indecision. The study argues the five functional constructs of the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) against MMC attributes. A systematic review of sixty-seven articles through a Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) ledto key arguments that explicate the lesser drive for MMC adoption. Results reveal that past literature is plurally discarding the dynamics between supply and demand, decision-making, and contracting business models. An improved understanding of these dynamics would, therefore, support research efforts in disclosing the necessary considerations that can promote clients' favourable innovation-decisions. This study echoes past calls and act as a departure point for future research to assess MMC beyond its technical attributes from a theoretical lens to better understand how construction innovations flow in the public construction sector.

“…Scholars from around the world have identified and addressed the challenges associated with PC, endeavoring to enhance its implementation in the AEC industry. Their collective efforts have focused on resolving a wide range of challenges, including health and safety problems [12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]; supply chain and supply chain resilience problems [5,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]; logistical problems [32,33]; schedule and delay problems [34][35][36][37][38][39]; information technology problems [40]; modular elements' tolerance problems [41,42]; problems related with crane operations [43]; problems related with policy drivers [30]; design problems [44,45]; quality problems [46]; and investment and cost problems [10,[47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

Prefabricated construction (PC) offers advantages to the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry such as quality production, fast project completion, low waste output, high environmental sensitivity, and high security. Although PC has several advantages, knowledge gaps persist, necessitating a comprehensive bibliometric study. This research adopts a holistic bibliometric approach, combining qualitative (systematic literature review) and quantitative (bibliometric analysis) methods to assess the current state of prefabricated construction risks (PCRs) research and identify the literature trends. Unlike previous PCRs studies, our research capitalizes on the quantitative analysis capabilities of the Bibliometrix R-tool. We introduce innovative measures, such as the h-index, thematic mapping, and trend topic analysis, to deepen the understanding of the PCRs research landscape. Moreover, this study explores the intellectual structure of PCR research through keyword analysis, cluster analysis, and thematic evaluation, providing valuable insights into scientific studies, collaborations, and knowledge dissemination. In our study, following a systematic literature review to understand the existing knowledge, the R-studio Bibliometrix package is used to map the field, identify gaps in the field, and analyze the trends. This study involves a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 150 articles in the field of PCRs, with data obtained from the Web of Science spanning from 2000 to 2023. The findings from the analyses reveal that the studies were divided into four different clusters: management, programming, logistics, and supply chain. Additionally, themes such as the integration of PC with Building Information Management (BIM), barriers, and stakeholders were also explored. The analyses indicate a growing awareness of PCRs, particularly in specific areas such as management, performance, and supply chain. This study stands out for its unique methods, analytical approach, and the use of specialized software. It provides valuable insights and suggestions for future studies.
