Abstract
A comprehensive model has been developed for fostering innovation in the construction industry. Some of the mechanisms linking major parts of the innovation model include building technology forecast and evaluation, integration, constructability, product and process improvement, and strategic management. The developed model for fostering innovation in the construction industry is provided and described. Remaining barriers to innovation will be addressed and strategies for promoting the development and use of enabling technologies are discussed. Progress which has been made in implementing major parts of the model will be presented. Finally, the potential significance and benefit of the model in terms of development and exploitation of enabling technologies will be discussed.
