Conference Object Drivers for Adopting 3D Printing Technology in Turkiye(European Council on Computing in Construction (EC3), 2025) Latifiilkhechi, L.; Aminbakhsh, S.; Akcay, E.C.This study investigates the factors driving the adoption of 3D printing technology in construction industry, focusing on Turkiye and developing EU countries. A comprehensive literature review identified 27 key drivers, which were evaluated through a survey of 106 professionals using Relative Importance Index (RII). Results reveal that faster construction, lower rate of site accidents and fatalities, and reduction in material waste are the most significant drivers, while freedom in design due to less strict standards was found to be the least important. The research emphasizes the need for targeted initiatives to enhance the integration of 3D printing in construction projects. © 2025, European Council on Computing in Construction (EC3).

Building energy analysis is particularly important for sustainable projects. Building Information Modeling (BIM), which enables comprehensive data management and analysis throughout the building lifecycle, has emerged as an indispensable tool at every stage of sustainable building projects. This study aims to investigate the barriers hindering the implementation of BIM in sustainable building projects in Türkiye. For this purpose, potential barriers were initially identified through literature searches in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Following the literature review, a structured questionnaire was designed to evaluate the significance of 18 identified barriers on the use of BIM technology in green buildings. The results indicate that significant impediments include financial barriers such as high licensing costs, the high costs of BIM experts, and high training costs. The findings highlight the critical need for support mechanisms to facilitate the broader adoption of BIM in sustainable construction practices. © 2024 International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century.
