Sustainable construction technologies (SCTs) play a significant role in improving living standards and human comfort by contributing to smart and sustainable cities. However, endorsing SCTs is difficult for developing nations. This research identified the primary motivators and examined their influence on the adoption of SCTs in Pakistan. Data was obtained from 333 respondents through a questionnaire survey. For the empirical results, this research employed the structural equation modeling approach. The findings showed that cost and energy, economic, environmental, and industry-related factors are important motivators for the adoption of SCTs. The findings also confirmed that smart technologies are gaining popularity because potentially they have lower costs, consume less energy, and have a lower impact on the environment. Based on findings, this study recommended that the government should promote the use of SCTs in a proactive manner. The results of this research are important for the urban and smart cities’ development in Pakistan and other developing nations
