This volume contains the papers presented at ASC2023: 59th Annual Associated Schools of Construction International Conference held on April 3-6, 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom by Liverpool John Moores University.

There were 140 submissions. Each submission went through a double-blind review process and was reviewed by an average of 2.5 external reviewers and 2 program committee members. Based on the review process 93 papers were accepted for an acceptance rate of 66%. Publication in the ASC proceedings represents an important milestone of accomplishment for the authors due to the rigorous review process.

The Proceedings is published once each year for the international conference.

The editors would like to thank the ASC Board of Directors, the ASC Webmaster Carlos Sterling, and especially the External Reviewers that graciuosly volunteered their time to provide constructive reviews of the submitted papers. It is the efforts of all these individuals that make these proceedings possible.
