Abiodun, O; Abadi, M; Ejohwomu, O and Manu, P (2024) Dimensions of maturity model for institutionalising smart circular construction: A systematic literature review. In: Thomson, C (ed.) Proceedings of 40th Annual ARCOM Conference, 2-4 September 2024, London South Bank University, UK.
Abstract
The systematic adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has potentials to achieve the transition to Smart Circular Construction (SCC). However, the construction literature lacks a systematic guidance of maturity models to inform the transition to circularity in organisational practices, give away SCC. This study aims to conceptualise dimensions of maturity for institutionalising SCC practices in construction firms. A systematic literature review including 31 peer-reviewed journal articles reporting on other industries was conducted to identify the maturity dimensions relevant to SCC and their suitability for use in construction firms was discussed. Ten dimensions and associated attributes were identified showing relevance to the eight Porter’s value chain activities. This suggests their sufficiency in depicting smart circular values in construction firms. However, the weighting, i.e. importance, of the dimensions and their attributes specific to construction companies is unknown. Future research will verify the proposed dimensions and establish weighting for the dimensions. This will facilitate the development of a maturity model to assess and inform the transition to SCC in construction firms.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
