Abstract:
Maturity Models assist organisations to evaluate their existing capabilities. A key component of a maturity model is its attributes which govern the assessing criteria of the model. Several construction maturity models exist in various platforms, however, there seems a noticeable gap in the literature on existing maturity model attributes and a model template for construction sector. Therefore, to fill that gap, this study aimed at reviewing the existing construction maturity model attributes. PRISMA literature review technique was adopted to systematically review the existing, construction related maturity model attributes. The identified attributes were analysed using thematic analysis method. The study used twenty prominent construction maturity models to identify their key attributes. These attributes were analysed, and 13 key themes were derived that described model attributes. This study summarised all the literature findings on significant existing model attributes and established the foundation on how to derive attributes relevant to construction maturity models. Further, this study adds to the body of knowledge on construction maturity model attributes and opens up avenues to develop more robust maturity models. This study contributes to the practice by encouraging the use of maturity models and attributes to enhance the existing maturity of construction firms. The results of this study can be directly used by industry practitioners to establish best practices within the construction projects. Further research is encouraged on identifying additional components of models and testing the effectiveness of the findings with empirical data in future studies.
