Survey identifies critical barriers to smart sustainable construction adoption affecting project delivery performance.

The study aims to identify barriers to adopting smart sustainable construction in Malaysia and their implications for project delivery performance.
Survey conducted with 101 construction professionals analyzed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis.
Twenty barriers related to smart sustainable construction adoption were identified.
The study utilized the Technology–Organization–Environment framework to develop the Smart Sustainable Construction Barriers Model.
Identified barriers include lack of financial resources, standards, and policies, resistance to change, and low market demand.
Six latent dimensions of barriers emerged, highlighting organizational and technical capabilities as well as institutional support deficiencies.
The proposed model links upstream weaknesses to inefficiencies in workflow coordination, planning, and production control.
