Summary: With the emergence of digital transformation, there is a lack of theoretical foundation to guide Chinese construction companies in adopting digital procurement (D-procurement). This study aims to fill this research gap by providing a model that groups a set of critical success factors (CSFs) into the Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) framework for D-procurement adoption success (DAS). The study is based on a case study approach in H Group, one of the most representative D-procurement cases in China, and contributes to the field of D-procurement adoption for construction companies.

Summary: Fast-track construction has become a popular approach globally, allowing owners and developers to quickly recover their investments through shortened construction periods. This study investigated four groups of factors and found that poor communication, rework, low contractor quality, design errors, late or insufficient payment, and material unavailability were the most significant factors impacting fast-track project management performance. The study provides a quantitative model for evaluating performance and will benefit industry practitioners and researchers.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the impact of critical success factors on health project success and explore how these factors interact with knowledge creation. The results show that all critical success factors significantly affect project success, with tacit knowledge creation mediating this association. In contrast, explicit knowledge creation does not mediate the relationship between critical success factors and project success. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of process improvement and provides practical insights for project managers in the health sector to leverage knowledge creation for competitive advantage.

Summary: This research aims to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) for the competitiveness of Egyptian construction companies. The relative importance index (RII) and the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) were used to determine the importance of the success factors and screen them out. The results showed that a sustainable organization and leadership structure and governance system, stating a mission, vision and values, key types of suppliers and partners, reporting relationships among the different parts of the organization, and using technology as a support to achieve strategies are the top-ranked CSFs for company competitiveness in the Egyptian construction market. Having indicators to assess the image of the organization and positive trends for indicators measuring societal performance were found to be the least important factors.

Summary: This study explores the success factors of concrete recycling in construction projects, using Malaysia as a case study. The study identifies ten critical success factors for concrete recycling and finds differences in perceptions between small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises (LEs). The findings contribute to developing strategies to promote concrete recycling.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel progress payment administration system based on blockchain, which integrates building information modeling (BIM) to connect the real world with the blockchain. The proposed system has the potential to improve the traditional payment process for construction projects, accelerate the process, reduce disputes, and holds promise for lump sum projects. Future research can further accelerate the adoption of BIM and smart contract technologies for progress payment administration in the construction sector.

Summary: This study systematically examined the causal relationships among partnering, design management, design capability, and EPC hydropower project performance by establishing and validating a conceptual model. Path analysis revealed that partnering can directly promote design management and design capability, ultimately leading to better hydropower project outcomes. The study's contribution lies in theoretically linking intra- and inter-organizational design-related activities and providing practical strategies for participants to optimize their resources in designs for superior project performance.

Summary: The Lean philosophy is not well understood in the construction industry due to the complex and dynamic nature of construction projects. This article identifies critical success factors (CSFs) in Lean implementation for construction practitioners, providing guidance for effective project management. The study reveals that management commitment is the most important driver of Lean implementation, while governmental regulations have the least impact. Six factor groups are identified to further understand the factors influencing Lean implementation.

Summary: Construction projects rely on contractual arrangements, with contracts forming the basis of success. Smart contracts enabled by blockchain technology have the potential to benefit construction projects. However, the adoption of smart contracts in construction is still in its early stages. This study aims to explore and establish the critical factors influencing the adoption of smart contracts in construction contractual arrangements. The results show that trialability, relative advantage, competitive advantage, and compatibility are important predictors of smart contract adoption in construction projects.

Summary: This study empirically explored the effects of critical delay factors (CDFs) on transnational mega construction project (TMCP) success with the moderating influence of leadership self-efficacy (LSE). The findings revealed a negative relationship between CDFs and TMCP success, with the moderating effect of LSE being positive.

Summary: This study aims to identify the critical success factors of urban underground logistics systems (ULS) throughout project life cycle stages. Through desk research, Delphi method, and questionnaire survey, a total of 36 critical success factors were identified. These factors cover various aspects of ULS projects, including overall feasibility and acceptance, prototype system and business model, competence and resources for construction and operation, station layout and intermodal transportation, government policies and incentives, long-term planning of underground space and logistics network, as well as market investigation and forecasting. The research findings provide guidance for practitioners and decision-makers in ULS planning and construction, and serve as a reference for performance evaluation of ULS projects.
