Agile can be partially implemented in construction managements by innovation method and team collaboration especially when project acclivities like an iterative work or repeats itself to do it in short time. Saving Changes...

Dear Collins
Interesting the question you posed Thanks for sharing
If you reflect on the 4 values ??and 12 AGILE principles and take a look at the different frameworks that would answer your question?
How would you do it?
Can we have hybrid development approaches?
Thank you Luis,
I think a hybrid approach may just work for construction projects.

A quick search for "Agile Construction" in the top search above the forum page yields a number of discussions on this topic :)
Thank you Karl for the suggestion.Indeed,there's plenty of material on this subject. Saving Changes...
The values and principles of the Manifesto can be adapted to fit any context, but specific practices and expectations might need to be adjusted to fit the constraints specific to construction.
For example, pair programming won't translate "as is", but the concept of non-solo work is likely quite applicable.
While delivering changes in 1-4 week increments (as per the Scrum Guide) may not be feasible, exploring ways to incrementally deliver value with slightly longer increments might still be possible.
The focus should be on building in short feedback loops, early de-risking, improving value delivery, product quality and stakeholder/team engagement & satisfaction.

I fully agree with Kiron’s feedback. I specialize in Project Management for Real Estate Developments which includes construction and while we can’t use Agile in its pure form due to the nature of the industry and projects, we found that a Waterfall-Adaptive Hybrid Approach works well for the most part.
In terms of Agile Frameworks and Methodologies, take a look at DSDM. I personally believe that it best fits industries like construction because it doesn’t only deal with the development side of the project, but the project as a whole from initiating to closure.

Just to add something to @Kiron comments, while I agree about to adapt the Manifiesto manily because we did that in Argentina when I was leader of the Agile CoP, remember that Agile was not born in software and was born before the Manifesto exists. In fact, the place were it was born in 1990 is still active inside the Leihigh University. Agile was born in manufacturing not for that specific niche, because as a result of the prospective that was made in 1990 about how the world will be in 2015-2030 and they notice that Lean will be not enough. Because of that Lean and Agile are not the same. So, I applied Agile to construction projects. Saving Changes...
