Disruptive industry4.

This research looked into disruptive industry4.0 intervention and economic security strategy for supporting construction business during the COVID-19 pandemic, influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on materials, human resources, and building project completion time in Rivers State, Nigeria. This study aims at identifying result oriented strategy that could help to avoiding cost and time over-run on construction site during post COVID-19 pandemic era. For this research work, 100 questionnaires were administered. The influence, effect, and strategies adopted throughout the management and control of construction work during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as health and safety protocols in use on construction sites during the COVID-19 pandemic, were all areas identified in the questionnaires that were administered as a primary source of data, the relative agreement index, and SPSS were used as secondary sources of data to supplement the questionnaires' results. The COVID-19 pandemic had an influence on several construction companies in Rivers state, from material logistics to material use, wages and salaries of workers were also affected, and the health and safety protocols put in place on-site by management were highly mandatory for workers to prevent the virus from spreading. In addition, the development of COVID-19 pandemic awareness programs was the most widely accepted tactic implemented by construction company executives in Rivers state. Construction businesses should provide transportation for construction workers, regular health assessments, COVID-19 palliatives, pre-time payment of earnings and salary, and source reputable material suppliers, according to the recommendations derived from this research work. Disruptions that need to be implemented in construction businesses are using a digitalized work environment to help construction businesses to continue even during the pandemic (BIM & machines), Government also helping construction businesses by providing incentives and direct public investments and Identifying of opportunities to shift work off-site.


Introduction
COVID-19 was officially recognized as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. On March 25, 2020, construction activities in Rivers state staggered toward a halt. By March 27, 2020, partial demobilization across construction sites was put in motion, and on April 2, 2020, all activities were suspended. Project owners, sponsors, project managers, architect, engineers, quality surveyors, skilled labour, semi-skilled labour, supervisors and unskilled labour, we were all grounded to the confines of our homes; a culture that is alien and contradictory to our very agile and ever active nature of business and activities. Unfortunately, we can barely mix concrete virtually, nor lay blocks nor tiles nor cables remotely (Tony Dada, 2020).
Since state lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders began to flow in through March, construction starts and putin-place spending have also taken a hit. While a few state and local governments judged construction unnecessary, the majority allowed it to proceed, and today all job sites have been allowed to reopen, with several limits and standards in place regarding social distancing, mask wearing, and other safety precautions. While allowing building to begin may appear to be positive news, it does not provide a whole picture of the industry's actual state. The economic slowdown brought on by the pandemic is driving property owners and developers to postpone new development projects. Production of materials and resources came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic restriction and lockdown which lead to a spike in the prices and leaving the market at an alarming rate and also making resources unavailable to the customers. Many states are still in the process of reopening, and the rising number of new coronavirus infections is pushing some to postpone or cancel their plans. The consequence of the challenges faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic include; non availability of money to the construction workers, starvation of income to construction workers, outbreak of disease on site, fear and apprehension among construction worker.
However, the situation was not the same on all construction site especially in Rivers State, some developed survival strategy which enabled them to survive the pandemic era.
As a result, and until a widely available COVID-19 vaccine is available, it's impossible to determine when the construction sector will return to normal, or what the new normal will look like. Changes in the industry will be necessary, and some of them will be beneficial. To this end this study is centred on identifying COVID-19 pandemic era survival strategy of construction company with a view to improve on them to be able to ensure construction site productivity. This study will serve as an eye opener to construction workers to make sure construction work is still in progress as COVID-19 is still ongoing. The disruptive strategy engaged on construction site during COVID-19 has really helps to ensure limited spreading of the disease on site limiting cases of COVID-19. Archiving of research work for future implementation in the case of another pandemic. This study was carried out on the account of the effects the industry is facing pre and post COVID-19 and how to solve both short-and long-term economic issues as the construction industry adapts to a new national, and even international environment. The following research questions are necessary in other to address the issues on the disruptive intervention and economy security strategy for supporting construction business in the COVID-19 pandemic era. They include: what is the scope of operation of disruptive intervention that was engaged on construction operation and construction business during COVID-19 pandemic?, what are the effect of identified disruptive intervention on construction operation during COVID-19 pandemic?, to what extent has the intervention succeeded in influencing the construction operations and business during COVID-19 pandemic?, what are the challenges involved in application of disruptive intervention on construction operation during COVID-19 pandemic? How possible is it to carry out comparative analysis on disruptive intervention and economy strategies being used in construction firm during COVID-19 pandemic?
The study is to carry out a research of disruptive intervention and economy security strategy for supporting construction business that was used on construction site during COVID-19 pandemic with a view to identifying result oriented strategy that could help to avoiding cost and time over run on construction site during post COVID-19 pandemic era. For the purpose of the study the following objectives are necessary to provide answers to the research questions about disruptive intervention and economy security strategy for supporting construction business in the COVID-19 pandemic, such as: to study the scope of application of disruptive intervention in construction operation during COVID-19 pandemic,to examine the effect of the identified disruptive strategy on construction site,to study the success achieved on construction site operation on account of the strategies adopted,to study the challenges encountered in application on the disruptive strategies adopted on site during COVID-19 pandemic and to carry out comparative analysis of pre & post COVID-19 strategy adopted on construction site. The primary data was obtained using structured questionnaires sent and circulated to practitioners in the building construction industry (Architects, Builders, Quantity-Surveyors, Engineers and Urban regional planners). This section discusses the study methods and description of the data collection techniques, data collection sources, the different methods used in knowledge collection and tools for analysis.

Overview On The Construction Industry
Building construction is the bringing together of different components to form a structure with the initial aim is to provide shelter. Construction has been a part of human culture for thousands of years. It all started with a practical requirement for a controlled environment to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Constructed shelters were one of the ways that humans were able to adapt to a broad range of climates and evolve into a global species. (Alfred Swenson, 2020), (Hillebrandt, 1974), (Technofunc, 2012).
In the construction industry, there are some misconceptions. Various references to the construction industry, manufacturing industry, or building and construction industry, for example, are common. It's also okay to 10.57030/23364890.cemj.31.2.120 1196 | P a g e The number of academic and broad sense articles we found is plotted in Figure 1 by year (the first two phases of our review). As expected, academic interest in the concept is growing, as seen by a surge in journals citing fundamental work on disruptive innovation (Christensen, McDonald, Altman & Palmer, 2018). The administration domain had an original upward trend in citations that was similar to that of all areas of study, but this tendency has tapered off during the previous decade. The graph shows a recent reduction in direct interaction with disruption theory concepts in general. Pro-forma references (e.g., citations in the introductory sections of a publication rather than the theoretical or hypothesis-development sections) were common in our reading (Christensen, McDonald, Altman & Palmer, 2018). The pattern in generalinterest publications is much more distinct: a gradual increase followed by a rapid and continuous increase in the employment of disruption theory terms (Christensen, McDonald, Altman & Palmer, 2018).
This patterns argue that the development of disruptive innovation has gained a lot of traction among professionals, and that its vocabulary has made its way into the business vernacular, which is great news for any strategic management that wants to impact work practices. However, based on our review of the popular literature and the above-mentioned trends in management research, we believe that the terms disruption/disruptive innovation are overused to refer to any threat or change, and that disruptive innovation is underutilized as a cohesive theoretical idea (Christensen, McDonald, Altman & Palmer, 2018).

Challenges Encountered In The Application Of Industry4.0 Disruptive Strategies Adopted On Site During The Covi-19 Pandemic.
Financial transactions, trade, logistics,businesses, education, and medical services all benefit from disruptive technologies, particularly digital platforms. Cellular online activity per user, a measure for digitalization usage. (Okunade, 2018, James and Gina 2020).

COVID-19 pandemic on wages and salaries
Given the current circumstances, particularly the inability to conduct business as usual, one of the choices available to businesses could be to change the terms of their employees' contracts, deferring or reducing negotiated salaries. Employees should be able to keep their jobs throughout the outbreak, and businesses should be able to keep financial control until things return to normal, so this strategy should benefit everyone. If this option is chosen, the business must notify and engage its employees, as well as get prior agreement on when and how the changes would be implemented. Construction and mining workers' salaries had the greatest influence in the first half of 2020, according to (Stuart Gentle, 2020).

Covid-19 Pandemic And Completion Time
As of March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic because the virus was endangering human lives and the number of countries afflicted was increasing. World Health Organization (WHO) (World Health Organization, 2020). Several countries' governments have taken steps to halt the virus's spread, by the WHO's declaration. As a result, the Nigerian Federal Government has imposed travel restrictions, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, and curfews to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading (the "COVID-19 Orders"). Several construction companies have been forced to close their doors as a result of the COVID-19 Orders. The COVID-19 Orders will, without a doubt, cause delays in the completion of construction projects and will prevent them from being completed on time (Osinachi Nwandem, 2020). The COVID-19 virus has been spreading throughout the country, prompting authorities to impose travel bans, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, and curfews to stop it. Therefore, contractors must exercise caution when dealing with the ramifications of delays(Alenezi, 2020).

Covid-19 Pandemic Impact on Costs
Regardless of the contractual method used, the parties risk exceeding their building budgets (cost plus, lump sum, guaranteed maximum price, etc.). In construction, there are always uncontrollable elements depending on market movements, but issues like COVID-19 dramatically enhance the risk of costly failure. Contractors would most likely price projects depending on the cost of steel and other items provided by China and other nations affected. COVID-19 jeopardizes those supplies and will almost probably raise costs. Depending on price escalation agreements, the definition of unanticipated events, force majeure, and perhaps a change in law provisions, the responsibility for these price adjustments may pass from the owner to the contractor. Furthermore, due to lender step-in rights and foreclosures, COVID-19 may fail some projects. It has been reported that the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in cost overruns and project delays that no one could have predicted before 2020, according to Faegre Drinker (2020).

Covid-19 Pandemic on Health And Safety on Construction Sites 2.9.1 Implementation of COVID-19 health and safety guidelines
Unlike other sectors (such as retail and hospitality), which saw a near-complete shut down for many months, many locations in the United Kingdom remained to operate in some capacity during COVID19's peak in March to June 2020, according to the report (Stiles et al., 2021). A rapid response was provided by the CLC, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and the United Kingdom Government, with advice being updated as new information became available or the severity of the outbreak in the United Kingdom decreased, as the case may have been. Workers in the construction industry must be adaptable and flexible to deal with constantly changing environmental conditions as well as changing health and safety regulations. Despite the hurdles of change, people and processes have managed to adapt quickly. This has been made possible by widely disseminated industry recommendations, as well as the fact that COVID19 has received constant public and media attention as a public health emergency. Putting COVID19 recommendations into reality and establishing what is realistic when adopting procedures like cleaning has been one of the most difficult components of working under COVID19 for construction. Cleaning site infrastructure touchpoints like ladders and scaffolding are one example.

Research Design
To ensure that the study's objectives are met in a systematic and orderly manner, a survey design was used in this research. To accomplish this, proper and accurate research methodology must be developed to avoid deviating from the study's aims and objectives and to have a better understanding of how the study can be carried out effectively. The primary method of data collection was adopted. This method of data collection which is a questionnaire was designed and distributed to selected construction companies requesting information from their responses. As a result, for this research analysis, descriptive research design was used to describe the perspectives, behaviours, and perceptions of the various construction professions at one or more points in time. The descriptive research design was chosen such that the researcher could collect more specific descriptions of the variables of interest.

COVID-19 monthly testing has reduced which came in third with a RAI of 0.747. Due to the vaccine the need for constant COVID-19 testing has reduced.The global economy relies heavily on construction. According to official figures, the construction industry in the United Kingdom is worth more than £100 billion and employs more than 2.4 million people, totaling more than £100 billion (Rhodes, 2019). COVID19 has wreaked havoc on our industry, and it has been one of the most devastating blows we've taken (Koh & McClure et al., 2020). COVID-19 has two significant implications for the construction industry. On the one hand, work has been suspended or altered as construction processes adjust to new ways of working, and new projects have been put on hold while these adjustments are made. Social distancing, greater cleanliness, and personal protective equipment (PPE) standards, and the ability to work from home for jobs that aren't crucial to frontline operations have all forced sites to adapt. There has never been a more pressing need for health, hygiene, and security. All of this must be accomplished while adhering to established occupational safety standards in an industry plagued by various hazards. The temporary nature of the arrangements may make it difficult to exercise safety leadership (Stiles et al., 2018a), which is an important strategy for involving workers in safety (Zohar, 2002;Zohar & Luria, 2003). Additionally, the construction industry, among other industries, may consider additional rules and measures to help protect employees from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, soon. Specifically, it is believed that this specific coronavirus spreads from person to person when respiratory droplets from an affected person land in the eyes or noses of others as a result of coughing, sneezing or talking. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, being within 6 feet of an infected person's respiratory emissions for more than 15 minutes increases the likelihood of contracting the virus. Another mechanism of infection that could occur is through airborne transmission. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "there is evidence that COVID-19 patients infected people who were more than 6 feet away in some situations," meaning people who were more than 6 feet away from the patients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, being within 6 feet of an infected person's respiratory emissions increases the risk of contracting the virus if you are there for more than 15 minutes. As an alternative to direct contact, airborne transmission of the virus is a possible mode of transmission (Lekan, Clinton, Stella, Moses, Biodun 2022).   Table 3.14 comparative analysis of pre & post covid-19 management strategy Table 3.14 shows the comparative analysis between pre & post covid-19 management strategy. This is a model representative of respondent opinion gotten in the distribution of the questionnaires. The analysis carried out should have a coefficient closest to 1.0 using 0.9. They are representing the 20 questions in the questionnaire Table  4.10 and Table 4

Conclusion
The results of this study's analysis can be considered to be of high relevance to the construction industry. According to the responses, the majority of those who answered the questionnaires work in the construction industry, indicating that they have a great deal of knowledge and can provide the necessary information in response to the questionnaire's questions. Structural engineers had the highest percentage of 28%, followed by Quantity Surveyors with 24%, Builders with 21% respectively, Architects with percentage of 19% and the least percentage was Others (project manager, HSE supervisor, estate surveyor) with a percentage of 8%. The scope of study the scope of application of disruptive intervention in construction operation during COVID-19 pandemic on sites showed that the normal use of manual labors in loading of goods were changed to using machines including the packaging and distribution. The application of virtual meeting and the use of an online system making worker to work from home (Christensen, McDonald,Altman & Palmer 2016).
The COVID-19 pandemic effects in the construction industry affected the economy growth since the construction industry is a complex sector of the economy, which involves a broad range of stakeholders and has wide ranging linkage with other areas of activities such as manufacturing and the use of materials, energy, finance, labour and equipment. The economic security strategies that were made available for construction workers includes the provision of face mask, offering of medical services, offering of loans to employees, administering palliative measures, provision of free drugs (vaccine), working from home system was made available. The effects of the disruptive strategy on construction site operations showed a positive influence, some of the influences includes a safer work environment for employees, increasing time efficiency, improved collaborations and increase productivity, accuracy in taking orders for materials, fast delivery of construction project, elimination of waste on site, cost reduction.The success achieved on construction site operation through adoption of economic security strategy helped in achieving the elimination of further spread of the disease, workers are better oriented in the best way to work on site during COVID-19 pandemic, elimination of waste on site (Lekan, Clinton, Fayomi, James 2020) The COVID-19 threat has numerous effects on construction project completion time; however, the influences in this study on COVID-19 threats on completion time effects, which were rated by RAI. Some of the influences include increased project delays and cancellations, suspension of project work, client funding difficulties, unavailability of construction workers causing project delays, contractors' concerns about contract completion delays, an extension of project work time, and project completion in time for project handover. The effect of the covid-19 pandemic on human resources in construction projects was also looked into in this study. The reduction in project hours worked, workers being laid off, project budget overruns, and worker salaries respectively. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant reduction in project hours worked; this was done primarily to avoid worker engagement and bodily contact to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, workers' mobility to and from work became more challenging. Wages and salaries were rarely paid after COVID-19, and the rate of rising in worker salaries due to COVID-19 was not significant. The recommendations for this study are as follows:Packaging of goods and materials with machines for distribution. To alleviate the issue of late distribution during the pandemic and to avoid time wastage . Provision of COVID-19 palliatives. To express their support, construction companies could supply palliatives to workers to help them cope during and after the pandemic. Health assessment of workers. To maintain worker safety, a thorough health examination must be conducted on-site and, in the office, to prevent the COVID-19 virus from being transmitted from infected individuals to the workers.People are better oriented on the best way to work on site during COVID-19 pandemic. Having trainings for your worker for self-awareness on Covid-19 work practices to avoid the spread of the virus. Sourcing dependable material suppliers. During the COVID-19 phase, dependable suppliers are essential. The project's completion time may be impacted by late or non-delivery of materials, as well as the supply of low-quality materials. Payment of wages and salary to employees ahead of schedule. The COVID-19 pandemic has several financial consequences for workers. They would be more motivated to work more on projects if they were paid in advance.
