Reviewer 2 Report
The topic of this study is interesting; however, the presentation of manuscript is very naive and poor. The following points need to be addressed:
1. The gaps, significance, and contributions made to the body of relevant knowledge need to be added to the Introduction and Conclusion sections.
2. The authors used a number of case studies, but there is no Replication logic of the study. How have the conclusions drawn from the selected projects been validated? The following paper sheds light on this aspect:
Towards enhancement in reliability and safety of construction projects: developing a hybrid multi-dimensional fuzzy-based approach.
3. The methodology flowchart is very naive and badly presented. It should be redrawn.

Reviewer 2 Report
To my surprise, my comments provided in the previous revision has not been addressed at all. The authors need to address them to make it suitable for publication. I have provided them here again as follows:
1. The authors used a number of case studies, but there is no Replication logic of the study. How have the conclusions drawn from the selected projects been validated? The following paper sheds light on this aspect:
Towards enhancement in reliability and safety of construction projects: developing a hybrid multi-dimensional fuzzy-based approach.
2. The methodology flowchart is very naive and badly presented. It should be redrawn.

Reviewer 1 Report
The reviewer thanks the authors for their responses to previous comments. The manuscript has improved. Below are some comments:
- Line 237-238: Are they also underlined in table 3?
- Table 6: Rows 'Lean principles' to 'BIM barriers' could be explained better, not necessarily inside the table if the format is an issue.
- Lines 446-451: The authors are encouraged to add references where appropriate.
