Abstract: Abstract The construction sector has been the largest consumer of materials for almost a century. It absorbs two fifths of the world flows of materials and energy while it presents 40% of the total flow of raw materials in the world each year (Horvath, 2004). However, companies in this sector have encountered multiple challenges stemming from several crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the soaring prices of building materials due to international tensions, supply difficulties, and the shortage of certain products. These factors are hurting the real estate sector, hampering its projects, and slowing down its construction sites. Property developers are finding it increasingly difficult to meet delivery deadlines. These increases and shortages of raw materials lead to delays and even work stoppages. And it is the entire production chain that is impacted (MHPV.GOV.MA, 2022). The aim of this contribution is to provide a literature review on the factors influencing the resilience of companies operating in the construction sector.
