Abstract

Sustainability principles should be implemented during all the phases of the decision-making process of constructing residential buildings to achieve maximum gains without compromising the function of such projects. This study identified and examined the benefits of implementing cyber technology in residential building projects, with a view to promoting the sustainability of such projects. The benefits of cyber technology were identified from previous studies, which were then contextually explored via survey questionnaires within the Nigerian building industry. The results from the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique showed that the cyber technology benefits could be categorized into five constructs, namely, planning, transparency, efficiency, productivity, and quality. In addition, partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to develop the benefits model. The results showed that transparency related benefits were crucial benefits for implementing cyber technology. The study’s results will serve as a reference for decision-makers looking to decrease costs and increase sustainability by using cyber technology in the Nigerian construction sector.
