The long-term goals and objectives that infrastructure projects aim to deliver are contextualised by complex grand challenges, which involve an entanglement of economic, social, ecological issues. However, there have been criticisms fall short delivering equitable value effectively address challenges. These underpinned the recent calls for rethinking purpose definition projects. This essay argues adopting a political ecology perspective can be useful start identifying limitations current...
In project research, value has been conceptualized either as something subjective in peoples' minds or an objective reality. However, practice, actors encounter, express, and negotiate both subjectively (e.g., ideals beliefs) objectively the price) depending on evolving circumstances of real-life situations. To capture phenomenon from actors' perspective, we adopt a projects-as-practice approach value, which puts emphasis activity, process practice valuation rather than itself. This suggests...
Abstract The construction industry significantly impacts the environment through natural resource depletion and energy consumption, leading to environmental degradation. Circular Economy (CE) material efficiency strategies—such as reuse, design for disassembly, prefabrication, recycling—offer promising solutions reducing consumption waste. This paper explores stakeholders’ perspectives on costs benefits of implementing CE strategies in industry, using 3-R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) framework....
The digital integration of built-environment practices aims to bridge a large variety organizations improve building delivery and operation. However, recent research on information modelling (BIM) reported organizational challenges arising from integration. This suggests need develop critical perspective digital-integration-driven change. Adopting practice-based approach, this paper exposes the practice-level phenomenon responsible for ongoing change understanding enable better...
Abstract This paper explores the critical role of spatiality and scale in industrial ecology (IE) research to promote circularity within built environment. Traditional IE frameworks are predominantly a‐spatial a‐political, overlooking complex socio‐ecological–technological dynamics urban–regional environments. gap limits development holistic assessments effective strategies for circularity, often externalizing political, economic, societal implications. In this paper, we emphasize need...
The construction industry has long been urged to innovate, but innovation elusive because of the inherent social and organizational complexity construction. Therefore, developing insight into practice innovating is needed better understand perform in Focusing on requires exploring enabling capability solutions for practitioners establish novel ways doing things improvement, referred as 'innovative capability.' Building information modeling (BIM) promoted an enabler design its data management...
The transforming construction agenda argues that digitalization enables better value by addressing coordination challenges. However, this claim poorly articulates how is constituted, and ignores the problems with in real-life practices. paper presents a finer-grained analysis of implications critical discourse, organized two parts, using creation logics as proposed Bygballe Jahre concept "commodification" Prudham. Through literature review, first part mainly supports "production logic"...
Construction management literature sees the collective task of coordinating design as being about “‘integration’” “fragmented” discipline-specific tasks/outputs, thus overlooking important role social interactions. This is not only conceptually problematic but also presents a practical problem. As response, practice-based approach, which relies on “becoming” ontology, adopted for explanation coordination more effective management. The methodology suggests that develops result unfolding...
High-risk buildings can be considered as complex systems involving various social actors and technology, which draws attention to the organisational underpinnings of their safety. This research on theory high reliability organisations (HRO) literature develop insights into cultural aspects safety management regulation high-risk buildings. Ten semi-structured interviews were undertaken explore opinions experiences built environment professionals in England about ongoing regulatory changes...
The built environment can have a major impact on people's economic prospects, health and wellbeing, affect their everyday lived experiences. Additionally, due to high costs, construction investments, which shape the environment, involve opportunity costs for society. Following from an increasing awareness of these issues, social value has become rapidly growing area research practice in accompanied by policy interest. Despite its popularity, theoretical engagement with concept 'social value'...
The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) models in the design, construction and operation buildings infrastructure is leading to a stronger focus on quality models. Models may need correction, enrichment or enhancement meet expectations for completeness, especially if are be taken as legal documents, example regulatory approval. Past work semantic development has looked at specific scenarios such scanned geometry missing classification. This paper describes an innovative unified...
Building information modelling (BIM) has not met the expectations of radically improved collaboration. As trust is a key enabler collaboration, it important to understand and address issues in BIM-enabled collaboration for further improvement. Through literature review on psychology, economics, construction, virtual this paper enquires into meaning dimensions trust. It argued that six established psychology interrelationships between these dimensions, as well different units analysis, need...
Recent studies of ‘design thinking’ for management have criticized the current focus on principles and tools design thinking, creating an over-simplified view a complex process. As response, this paper sets out to study empirical details ‘doing designing’ in order explore what ‘managing as involves practice. Adopting practice-based theoretical orientation, presents findings from meetings three residential refurbishment projects UK. The suggest that practices was accomplished through everyday...
