About this Research Topic
The construction industry, vital for economic growth, faces significant challenges in adopting sustainable digital transformation. This challenge is more pronounced because the construction industry is traditionally known to adopt technology and innovations late compared to other sectors. As a result, the construction industry seems to face unprecedented challenges in understanding the dynamics of incorporating innovations and technologies in the present industrial revolution. Integrating advanced digital technologies and innovations is essential for enhancing efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the construction industry. However, achieving a successful diffusion and transformation requires the nexus of different aspects of the industry to accommodate the transformation. This call for papers aims to explore the interplay between People, Process, Product, and Policy in driving the sustainable digital transformation of the construction industry. Understanding this nexus is crucial for addressing the industry's traditional resistance to change and leveraging technology for sustainable growth.
The goal of this special issue is to critically examine how the construction industry can achieve sustainable digital transformation through the integration of advanced technologies, streamlined processes, innovative products, and supportive policies. This special issue provides a comprehensive overview of the pathways to achieving sustainable digital transformation in the construction industry, fostering innovation, enhancing efficiency, and promoting environmental responsibility. We aim to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights, case studies, and theoretical advancements that contribute to the sustainable development of the construction sector.
This special issue calls for submissions on but not limited to the following topics from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights, case studies, and theoretical advancements that contribute to the sustainable development of the construction sector in the preset technological revolution era
