Description
Summary:To reap the most advantages while maintaining the functioning of residential building projects, sustainability concepts should be included at all stages of the construction decision-making process. This research identified and investigated the barriers to the employment of cyber technology in residential construction projects in order to ensure their long-term viability. Prior research identified cyber technology barriers, which were then contextually explored using a questionnaire survey in the Nigerian construction business. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed that cyber technology hurdles may be classified into five constructs: knowledge, government, culture, project nature, and regulations. The barriers model was also built using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). According to the findings, project-related constraints were key impediments to the implementation of cyber technology. The findings of this study might serve as a guide for decision-makers in Nigeria’s construction industry looking to decrease costs and boost sustainability via the use of cyber technology.
