The construction industry has been criticised for its lack of innovation compared to other industries. However, the unique characteristics of the construction industry, such as site-based operations, project-based business models, and temporary supply chains, make it difficult to measure construction innovation using criteria used for other industries. This study adopts a two-stage approach, including database building, filtering, coding, and statistical analysis, to provide a systematic bibliometric review of 257 construction innovation-related studies for the period of 1996–2020. The analysis reveals that the scope of construction innovation covers multiple dimensions and can be perceived from different levels. The main contributors to construction innovation-related studies are analysed in terms of institution, country, funding, and journal. The keyword analysis reveals the importance and relationships between different themes, based on which the research gaps and challenges are discovered, and research trends are suggested for future researchers.

与其他行业相比，建筑行业因缺乏创新而受到批评。然而，建筑行业的独特特征，例如基于现场的运营、基于项目的商业模式和临时供应链，使得难以使用用于其他行业的标准来衡量建筑创新。本研究采用两阶段方法，包括数据库构建、过滤、编码和统计分析，对 1996 年至 2020 年期间 257 项建筑创新相关研究进行了系统的文献计量回顾。分析表明，建筑创新的范围涵盖多个维度，可以从不同层面进行感知。从机构、国家、资金和期刊等方面分析了建筑创新相关研究的主要贡献者。
