The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has gained increasing attention in construction management (CM) domain as a technique to analyse complex situations and make sound decisions. However, AHP per se or its potential applications on CM problems are ill-defined within extant literature. The present paper reviews 77 AHP-based papers published in eight selected peer-reviewed CM journals from 2004 to 2014 to better define and delineate AHP application areas and decision-making problems solved within CM. The findings indicated that risk management and sustainable construction were the most popular AHP application areas in CM. It was also revealed that AHP (1) is flexible and can be used as a stand-alone tool or in conjunction with other tools to resolve construction decision-making problems; and (2) is widely used in Asia. In addition, the most prominent justifications for using AHP were found to be small sample size, high level of consistency, simplicity and availability of user-friendly software. This paper provides a useful reference for researchers and practitioners interested in the application of AHP in CM. Future research is needed to compare and contrast between AHP and other multicriteria decision-making methods; such work could reveal which techniques provide optimized solutions under various decision-making scenarios.

\ud \ud Green building (GB) has been viewed as an effective means to implement environmental, economic, and social sustainability in the construction industry. For the adoption of GB technologies (GBTs) to continue to succeed and gain popularity, a better understanding of the key issues influencing its progress is crucial. While numerous studies have examined the issues influencing green innovations adoption in general, few have specifically done so in the context of GBTs. This study aims to investigate the underpinnings of GBTs adoption in the following areas: (1) the critical barriers inhibiting the adoption of GBTs, (2) major drivers for adopting GBTs, and (3) important strategies to promote GBTs adoption. To achieve these objectives, a questionnaire survey was carried out with 33 GB experts from the United States. Ranking analysis was used to identify the significant issues associated with GBTs adoption. Resistance to change, a lack of knowledge and awareness, and higher cost have been the most critical barriers. The major drivers for adopting GBTs are greater energy- and water-efficiency, and company image and reputation. The analysis results also indicate that the most important strategies to promote the adoption of GBTs are financial and further market-based incentives, availability of better information on cost and benefits of GBTs, and green labelling and information dissemination. The findings provide a valuable reference for industry practitioners and researchers to deepen their understanding of the major issues that influence GB decision-making, and for policy makers aiming at promoting the adoption of GBTs in the construction industry to develop suitable policies and incentives. This study contributes to expanding the body of knowledge about the influences that hinder and those that foster GBTs implementation.\ud \ud Keywords\ud \ud Green building technologies; Barriers; Drivers; Promotion strategies; United State
