Abstract
The Dutch Construction Industry is currently facing challenges over its massive waste produced from their manufacturing process. The Dutch Climate Agreement also fosters the industry to serve the increasing demand for sustainable building material to achieve the energy transition. Hence, the construction industry in the Netherlands is exploring alternative means to address such sustainability challenges. By learning from the automotive and manufacturing industry, implementing Industry 4.0 can be an opportunity for the Dutch construction industry to become more sustainable. This thesis aims to conduct an explorative study on the implementation of Industry 4.0 in the Dutch Construction Industry to improve sustainability performance. To successfully implement Industry 4.0, the result suggested the industry to make a holistic change across business functions to ensure the balance between humans, characteristics of an organization, and new technology.
