This book provides readers with an understanding of various concepts, benefits, and practices that the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technolo>gies can bring when working towards sustainable construction goals. As digitalization continues to advance rapidly, the pressures on stakeholders in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) industry to revamp and restructure their activities and outputs become increasingly prev>alent. This research book explains the importance of various digital tools and principles to achieve sustainable construction projects. It adopts various stand>ards and concepts to highlight how 4IR technologies could assist and accelerate construction sustainability. It is the first book to link construction management with various digital tools to enhance construction projects’ sustainability. It also provides an in-depth insight into the concept of sustainable construction 4.0 across both developing and developed countries for construction professionals, sustainability experts, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders.The book can be adopted as a research guide, framework, and reference on sustainable construction, the concept of sustainable projects, digitalization in the construction industry, and the 4IR.

This book takes readers through the process of integrating the circular economy into the business model of construction organizations. It offers not only theory but also a workable implementation plan. This approach guarantees that readers can implement these insights into their construction operations with confidence. It includes in-depth analyses of the circular economy business model and the peculiarities of the construction sector, providing an approach that considers both the opportunities and challenges faced by this sector. In addition, it shows how the circular economy framework can continue to be relevant and adaptable by addressing the current adoption level of the circular economy in construction and preparing readers for new developments. Lastly, the book demonstrates how circular value propositions can be used to implement the circular economy in the construction sector, thus increasing revenue and profits in construction.

This book gathers papers from the 1st Global Forum for Sustainable Built Environment Research Conference – SURE-Built 1. This year’s event has theme "Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies" and was held virtually on the 4th-5th of September, 2025. The rationale behind the conference is rooted in inclusivity and aligned with a broader mission to promote sustainable development in line with global goals. This  interdisciplinary focus encourages collaboration among architects, engineers, urban planners, environmental scientists, and policymakers, thus creating a comprehensive approach to tackling shared global challenges.
