The article analyzes the current situation in Russian construction industry associated with the low innovation activity at all levels of construction sphere. Among the many reasons for the technological low innovative ability to technological change in construction industry, the authors outline reasons that might radically and positively influence the situation in domestic construction within the first half of the 21st century. The object of the study is the "construction system" concept, which is proposed to be identified as a main link of building innovations that promotes or, accordingly hinders construction objects production. When considering this concept, it becomes obvious that the critical link of innovation is concentrated in the concept of "structural framework" and related technologies for the production of construction objects. It is concluded that the main obstacle to the construction industry innovative development is the conservatism of building frames structural solutions and the corresponding technologies of the construction systems which are oriented to multi-storey housing construction and the main priorities of such construction are concentrated in mega-cities. The requirements for living environment, architectural diversity, residential building layouts, «green building» principles, energy efficiency, economy and internal comfort of housing are being raised. The paper emphasizes that existing building systems, especially in megacities, is not able to solve demographic problems and promote a healthy and safe life for people. The authors suggest that in the near future the turn to other priorities of housing construction and the transition to a new technological order with the help of industrial innovative low-rise residential construction systems for development of the Eurasian space of the country on the "linear city" concept base.

Apropos to numerous environmental issues highlighted globally and locally, Malaysia has now moving forward towards new agenda of greening the cities. A positive movement trend of new green building in the country can be seen as number of projects going into green rating application are increasing yearly. Nevertheless, sustainability impact is considered as significantly small since newly developed green building represent small percentage as compared to the existing non-green building. Therefore, the idea of greening the existing building through refurbishment emerged in order to achieve wider sustainability objectives. Apart from that, supported with recent evolvement of technology and digitalization in construction industry, in lieu with governments’ strategies to adopt Industry 4.0, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has also been acknowledged and used broadly as a solution to integrate and facilitate management of information throughout building lifecycles. Considering these two areas; sustainability and BIM are continuously gaining momentum these days, this paper attempts to explore BIM’s potentials as an enabler to help greening the existing non-green building. Literature review is conducted focus on reviewing BIM and sustainability present status in Malaysian construction industry, also their relationship including examining potential areas where BIM may contribute to enhance the buildings’ sustainability performances. Based on the reviews, there is a potential of bridging the two areas considering both has becoming a national construction industry agenda since the government released CITP2016-2020. To further concur the ideas, literature reviews has also proven that the ability of BIM to facilitate various functions has enable it to support several sustainability analyses such as energy, carbon emission, lighting, water, materials and waste, building and site, and costing analysis.

After the economy stabilized following World War I, the U.S. experienced a record level of residential construction. When considering housing in this period, scholars have usually focused on the sheer number of units built and perhaps on the fact that the rate of construction turned down several years before the whole economy soured. Relatively little attention has been paid to the ways in which U.S. building patterns differed in the 1920s from earlier periods and what these changes can tell us about broader social trends. This article examines residential building in this period in more detail, by looking at the city of Chicago, and suggests that new patterns of housing construction may have been linked to changes in the economy as a whole.

Most of the construction projects in Vietnam are suffering from the design changes during the implementation phase. These changes have a significant impact on the time and cost of the project. The primary purpose of this study is to explore factors causing the design change of residential construction projects from the Vietnamese perspective. This study has used a questionnaire to collect data for the occurrence and effect of these factors on project performance. Based on the literature review, there are a total of 28 initial factors filtered. These factors were classified into four cases: environment, clients, consultants, and contractors. The results of the analysis showed that there is almost no difference in mean between groups of respondents, and there is a relatively high consensus in ranking the factors between project parties. Based on factor analysis, there are four principal components extracted from all initial factors, with total variance explained of nearly 65.2%. In addition, an evaluation sheet for the overall impact of factors on project performance is proposed. The result indicated that the level of impact is 70.7 per the scale of 100. Eventually, a comparison with other construction project types has been made to understand generally the factors of design changes in the construction industry. Keywords: design change; residential building; construction management; Vietnam.
