Moderating effects of coping behaviors on stressors–Stress relationships of ethnic minority construction workers (2025)
Journal Article

To overcome the shortage of construction workers in developed countries, the construction industry recruits a minority workforce from developing countries. However, ethnic minority construction workers (EM-CWs) experience numerous stressors in the h...

Towards developing a predictive model for interpersonal communication quality in construction projects: An ensemble artificial intelligence-based approach (2025)
Journal Article

High-quality communication among stakeholders is salient to securing and maintaining collaboration in construction projects. Indeed, the absence of such communication among the workforce leads to inefficiency, low productivity, and substandard delive...

Falling risk analysis at workplaces through an accident data-driven approach based upon hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques (2025)
Journal Article

This study proposed an accident data-driven approach using hybrid AI techniques for the quantification of falling risks at workplaces. Six machine learning models and one ensemble learning model were deployed for automatic extraction of causal factor... Read More about Falling risk analysis at workplaces through an accident data-driven approach based upon hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques.

Development and evaluation of a maturity assessment tool for integrating building information modelling into operations and maintenance phase of buildings (2025)
Journal Article

The emergence of advanced digital tools such as building information modelling (BIM) has transformed the concept of building management in the construction sector. Despite the promising benefits of BIM in terms of successful project deliveries and en... Read More about Development and evaluation of a maturity assessment tool for integrating building information modelling into operations and maintenance phase of buildings.

Building a framework for dynamic organisational capabilities in Design for Safety (DfS) for Malaysian construction organisations (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose – Despite the growing construction subject of Design for Safety (DfS) in Malaysia, little effort has been made to understand the construction organisational DfS capability in a dynamic environment. This study aims to propose a framework for d... Read More about Building a framework for dynamic organisational capabilities in Design for Safety (DfS) for Malaysian construction organisations.

Key information requirements for integrating building information modelling with operations and maintenance: A Delphi approach (2024)
Journal Article

The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Operations & Maintenance (O&M) offers great potential for optimising asset operational performance. To achieve this, identification of the right level of detail of the information requireme... Read More about Key information requirements for integrating building information modelling with operations and maintenance: A Delphi approach.

Exploring the multidimensional challenges in integrating Design for Safety (DfS) in the Ghanaian construction industry (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose: The uptake of Design for Safety (DfS) practices in developing countries like Ghana has been limited. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the barriers across regulatory, organizational, cultural and educational dimensions... Read More about Exploring the multidimensional challenges in integrating Design for Safety (DfS) in the Ghanaian construction industry.

Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications (2024)
Journal Article

Studies have demonstrated that a minute quantity of graphene is sufficient to boost cement characteristics, but the attainment of good dispersion and uniformity of the resultant graphene-cement mixture remains a challenge. To alleviate these challeng... Read More about Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications.

The potential of construction robotics to reduce airborne virus transmission in the construction industry in the UK and China (2024)
Journal Article

This paper aims to identify construction robotics' potential to reduce airborne virus transmission, review factors limiting the technology's adoption and highlight how similar barriers have been addressed in other industries. Construction robotics we... Read More about The potential of construction robotics to reduce airborne virus transmission in the construction industry in the UK and China.

Assessment of safety climate perception of maintenance workers during major overhauls, outages, shutdowns or turnarounds (MoOSTs) (2024)
Journal Article

Maintenance activities are used to sustain the reliability of physical industrial assets. However, studies indicate that some of the most devastating industrial accidents are attributable to poor safety perceptions of maintenance workers, especially...
