“…The high level of unemployment is a dis-incentive to market and to capital development. Owolabi et al (2014) in their work "sustainability strategies in engineering infrastructure maintenance in developing countries: selected south western Nigeria states case study" found that sustainable approach to maintenance of engineering infrastructures could be achieved by implementing several parameters. Some of these parameters include;…”

The clamour for engineering and infrastructure in national development in all spheres of development is more in the developed nations but the responsibility is no less for the developing economies/nations. A lot of effort has been made in sustaining engineering and infrastructural development in Nigeria; still there are more deficiencies in the formalization. Therefore this paper contributes to effort of formalizing the role it play in the national development. The sources of data were mainly on secondary source which rely on much of literature review and the analysis was analytical. The finding reveals the role of engineering and infrastructure in national development and its sustainability. It also state that institution should be established to set a clear plans and rule for service provision, regulate and monitor service quality, coordinate engineering and infrastructural project efficiently and equitably in maintenance of the existing infrastructure. The paper concludes that the government is encouraged to show more commitment to engineering and infrastructure development than ever. It also states that good quality engineering and infrastructure is necessary to avoid bottlenecks and services disruption and to support a range of importance activities in the economy. It was recommended that government should ensure that the standard and policies relating to infrastructural development are addressed and handled holistically. And that effective evaluation of contracts, consulting and construction services of the required professionals should be put in place for proper implementation.

“…Furthermore, stakeholders in the construction industry wants to share the knowledge efficiently and effectively to improve the coordination among the stakeholders (Lang, et al, 2002). In the current world, the generation of information should be more accurate and real-time to get better performance from the construction stakeholder (Afolabi, et al, 2018), the construction firms should move on to the Information Technology (IT) sector to fulfil their day-to-day activities in the construction process (Kumar, et al, 2010). Therefore, the demand for cloud computing (CC) becomes a rapidly changing platform of IT and it allows construction firms to change the resources according to the demand of the construction environment (Shawish and Salama, 2014).…”

“…Based on that, the development of CC based BIM is an effective and collaborative project management tool (Zhang, et al, 2017;Chu, et al, 2018). In the construction industry, the stakeholder can employ cloud-based applications to get an efficient outcome in the construction process; at the same time, the stakeholder rarely utilises to use the cloudbased applications and technologies during the day-to-day activities in the construction process (Afolabi, et al, 2018). Likewise, the cloud-based BIM collaboration can reduce the issues among the stakeholder collaboration during the construction process, but there is a requirement to check the feasibility of cloud-based BIM collaboration of stakeholders practically (Alreshidi, et al, 2016).…”

The construction industry relies on the collaboration of stakeholders for a successful outcome, as most the stakeholders are from multidisciplinary organisation to achieve a particular goal. In addition, information in the construction industry must be more accurate and on time to increase the project performance. Even though cloud-based collaboration can be a useful tool for working with the stakeholder, is not being used widely yet. Therefore, it is required to analyse the feasibility of collaborative stakeholders’ participation on cloud-based Building Information Modelling. Hence, this paper outlines: the level of stakeholder collaborative involvement in cloud-based Building Information Modelling; the benefits of stakeholder collaborative involvement through cloud-based Building Information Modelling; limitation for the cloud-based Building Information Modelling; as well as strategies to overcome these limitations. Findings of the study indicated that even though, the benefits derived from the stakeholder collaboration are high, the collaborative involvement level in cloud-based Building Information Modelling is very low due to several limitations. therefore, this study propose some strategies to overcome the limitations such as: the government can provide training and awareness programmes; formulate regulations allowing for electronic-data processing to lower tax; develop Building Information Modelling execution plans with assistance from the Construction Industry Development Authority; and improve Building Information Modelling Execution plans with the technology.

“…Afolabi et al (2018) added that decisions are taken and exchanged with various construction stakeholders through informal channels like phones, SMS and email with post-facto documentation, leaving an information trial that is monumental and difficult to manage. Cloud Computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources such as server storage, applications and services that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Afolabi et al, 2018). Ankeny (2011) also suggested that several advantages can be derived from implementing cloud computing since they offer flexibility, no up-front cost, increased collaboration, automatic CI 23,2 software update, vast storage control, document control and work elasticity.…”

Purpose The momentous contribution of innovative technologies has made a significant impact in several sectors globally. However, the construction industry is undoubtedly lagging when it comes to technology usage. Thus, this study aims to explore the various emerging technologies in the construction industry while noticing stakeholders’ challenges and strategies in its use. Design/methodology/approach The study used a pragmatism research philosophy together with a quantitative research strategy in determining emerging technologies in the construction industry while noticing stakeholder challenges and strategies. Data were obtained from a total of 80 construction stakeholders through a structured questionnaire survey. The analysis was done with descriptive statistics using mean score ranking and a one-sample t-test. Findings Each emerging technology challenge was analysed and compared to see how pressing the challenges were as well as the aligned strategies. A key indication of this study is that the familiarity of the various emerging technologies was based on how many occasions one had an encounter with the technology. Practical implications The discussion’s findings contribute to a better knowledge to construction stakeholders on the challenges and strategies for rising technology adoption and implementation competencies. Originality/value The study reckoned stakeholders’ challenges on the emerging technologies in the construction industry context and recommended strategies to balloon the adoption of these emerging technologies in a developing country setting.
