Assessing Building Information Modelling Usage Level in Construction Projects: Construction Professionals Perspectives
(The Fourteenth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century, 2024-09) Ogunbayo, B. F.; Aigbavboa, Clinton; Liphadzi, Murendeni; Adewale, B. A.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) usage in the construction industry has rapidly become a game-changer in construction activities, which has revolutionised project planning, designing, construction and management, leading to significant improvements in project coordination, collaboration, efficiency, and overall project outcomes. Hence, this study aims to assess BIM usage in construction projects based on construction professionals' perspectives toward establishing its usage level for different construction activities. Structured questionnaires were distributed to construction professionals in Gauteng province, South Africa, using systematic random sampling techniques to collect data on the level of BIM usage for construction activities for projects within the construction industry. Data was collected through the quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey. A valid mean item score was determined in the study using a statistical data equation; each item was ranked with standard deviations, and Cronbach’s alpha was established. The study findings indicated that project design and planning were the highest-ranked levels of BIM usage in projects in the construction industry. The study recommends that evolving BIM with other innovative technologies, such as cloud-based collaboration, digital twins, and artificial intelligence, will drive the digital transformation of construction projects, improve project delivery processes, and create value for construction stakeholders. The study concluded that the continuous usage of BIM for construction activities will play a key role in reshaping the future of activities in projects and driving digital transformation within the construction industry.

Exploring the Integration of Digital Technologies and Lean Principles for Transformative Construction Project Management: A Review
(The Fourteenth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century, 2024-09) Adewale, B. A.; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis; Ogunbayo, B. F.; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi
This study explores the synergies between digital technologies and lean project delivery to address persistent challenges in the construction industry. The primary aim is to examine the integration of digital technologies, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and modular construction techniques, with lean principles to transform construction project management. Building on previous research highlighting the potential of these approaches, a narrative literature review examined existing knowledge on leveraging digital tools to enable lean project delivery. The review process involved secondary data from scientific databases, with 150 potentially relevant papers scrutinized and reduced to a final sample of 68. Findings demonstrate that integrating digital technology and lean principles drives substantial improvements in collaboration, visualization, data-driven decision-making, productivity, supply chain management, and overall project performance, as evidenced by global case studies. The study identified key challenges and implementation considerations, including the need for cultural shifts, training investments, and robust data management capabilities. BIM's role in enhancing design coordination and modular construction's contribution to waste reduction and efficiency are highlighted as critical components of this integrated approach. The research builds upon earlier studies emphasizing the importance of digital transformation in construction, while uniquely focusing on its synergies with lean principles. Future research directions include in depth case studies, empirical investigations, and collaborative initiatives to further validate benefits, develop best practices, and explore emerging technologies' role in enhancing digital-lean synergies, thus unlocking the full potential of this integrated approach.
Implementing Litman’s Nine Principles of Regenerative Architecture: An Evaluation of a Proposed Public Building Design in Lagos, Nigeria
(The Fourteenth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century, 2024-09) Adewale, B. A.; Ogunbayo, B. F.; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi
The building and construction industry is a major contributor to environmental degradation, accounting for significant energy-related carbon emissions and resource consumption. While sustainable building designs have helped mitigate impacts, they often fail to address the complex challenges of unsustainable practices fully. This has led to the emergence of regenerative design principles, which view buildings as living systems capable of fostering the regeneration of natural systems. This study focuses on a proposed recreation centre design in Lagos, Nigeria, and evaluates its application of Litman's nine principles of regenerative architecture. The methodology encompasses a literature review, site analysis, and a comprehensive design assessment. The results demonstrate a well-integrated approach, with the design exemplifying principles such as Whole Systems Design Integration, Integration into the Landscape, Bold Ecology, and Intelligent Limits. The recreation centre actively contributes to restoring and enhancing the local ecosystem while fostering meaningful connections between the community and the natural environment. The findings provide valuable insights for architects, urban planners, and policymakers, showcasing the recreation centre as a model for integrating regenerative design principles into public spaces. Limitations of the study include its focus on a single case study and the lack of post-occupancy evaluation. Recommendations for future research include comparative analyses of multiple case studies and exploring the broader applicability of regenerative design in diverse public space contexts. By expanding the knowledge and applications of regenerative design, the built environment can catalyse positive change, actively contributing to environmental rejuvenation and community.

Strategies for Successful Monitoring and Evaluation Practices in Construction Projects
(nternational Conference on Science, Engineering and Business for Driving Sustainable Development Goals, 2024) Ogunbayo, B. F.; Ramabodu, M. S.; Adewale, B. A.; Ogundipe, K. E.
—Construction professionals utilize monitoring and evaluation processes to verify construction operations to meet set construction project objectives. The goal is to keep track of all essential project factors, including cost, schedule, scope, and construction quality. This study assesses strategies for successful monitoring and evaluation practices in South African construction industry construction projects. The required data were collected through a random sampling method, and within the study area, 36 questionnaires were retrieved from the construction professionals. Data collected were computed using a descriptive statistical approach. In this study, the determination of the valid mean item score was achieved through the application of a statistical equation to the data. The study findings indicated that regular feedback on M&E activities, the establishment of construction goals, the establishment of construction objectives, proper construction documentation, stable construction policy, frequent reports on problems encountered during M&E, and development of effective communication skills were the highest-ranked strategies for successful monitoring and evaluation practices in projects within the construction industry. The study concluded that professionals in the construction industry should better understand project objectives before and during the project life cycle for a successful M&E practice in the construction industry. The study further concluded professionals and management of a construction project should be acquainted and knowledgeable with the idea of the M&E system and its processes for successful M&E practices in the construction process.
