Innovation is a key to competitive advantage in the construction industry, enabling firms to contend with major changes occurring in the market and to achieve the objectives in a specific project or over a range of projects. Accordingly, innovation studies have become an established part of construction management discipline with respect to the academic research undertaken and to the wide application in practice. However, knowledge base in the discipline is still developing and there is a genuine need to identify the research trends and neglected areas in the literature. This paper attempts to overview and organise the many innovation drivers and barriers that have been identified in construction innovation literature and analyse the source articles within a meta-classification framework proposed. Peer reviewed articles tackling the subject are analysed and classified in terms of research stream, level of analyses, stage of life-cycle, sources of information, contribution of the articles and backgrounds of authors. Based on the findings, the paper presents future research suggestions for the discipline.
