title = "RETHINKING CONSTRUCTION 4.0 ADOPTION IN NIGERIA: OUTSOURCING AND INSOURCING FOR SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY",
abstract = "The awareness and skills required to implement Construction 4.0, as well as its adoption, are still very low. This study aims at encouraging the insourcing and outsourcing of construction 4.0 technologies for sustainability within the Nigerian construction industry. The sampling technique used for this study was the Purposive sampling technique, Questionnaire was the Primary tool for data collection, while mean, and rank order were used to analyze the data collected. The findings show that the construction-specific construction 4.0 technologies are; LIDAR, and Building Information Modeling(BIM). While the non-construction-specific construction 4.0 technologies are; Big data, Unmanned aerial vehicles, etc. Among the various factors militating against the adoption of Construction 4.0 adoption are; the high cost of acceptance, anddata security issues. The technologies to be insourced are; LIDAR, and BIM, while those to be outsourced are; Big data, Artificial intelligence, etc. Insourcing and outsourcing can help in enhancing sustainability in the construction industry by; helping bridge the skill gap and resolve cyber security issues etc. The study developed a framework for insourcing and outsourcing construction 4.0 within the construction industry and recommends that Construction companies should be adequately sensitized on the benefits of adoptinga new approach to technology adoption.",
