  • Abstract:
    Changing needs of owners, changing designs of constructed facilities, and increased foreign competition for domestic construction markets provide new incentives for advanced construction technology. This paper describes a process for innovation in the construction firm, based on an investigation of several new construction methods. This process includes recognizing forces and opportunities for innovation, creating a climate for innovation, developing the necessary capabilities, providing new construction technologies, experimenting and refining, and implementing. The paper also develops practical applications to assist industry professionals attempting to increase innovation within their firms and implications to structure further investigations of construction innovation.
