International Conference on Innovative Trends in Engineering for Sustainability(ICITES-2025) organised by Department of Civil Engineering, Toc H Institute of Science and Technology (Hybrid mode)under the theme Smart, Digital and Sustainable Construction aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of the theme. It also highlights recent advances in the area of sustainable built environments from both academia and industry. The conference presents guidelines for the design and construction of Smart, Digital and Sustainable Construction that are not well-established or documented in Civil Engineering. It will be a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Smart, Digital and Sustainable Construction.
