“…Considering the adverse impact of construction activities on the environment like waste generation, air pollution, noise pollution, climatic change, and several others [6], the need for DT to address these issues has gained momentum across the globe. Also, due to the low productivity rates of the construction sector which is often caused by the high reliance on traditional manual labor, a lack of proper standards, and a scarcity of effective project management practices [7,8], the need for implementing DT into the activities and processes of the construction industry cannot be overemphasized. However, the construction sector has often been regarded as slow adopters of DTs due to its fragmented nature, which encompasses a wide range of stakeholders, each with its own set of processes, standards, and preferences [9,10].…”

This study aims to evaluate the diverse application areas of digital technologies (DTs) within the Nigerian construction industry, with the intention of gaining insights into their potential benefits, challenges, and opportunities for enhancing efficiency, productivity, and overall performance. This will help us to understand how innovative technologies can improve the various stages of construction projects. To achieve the objectives of this study, a convenience sampling approach was employed to distribute closed-ended questionnaires among construction professionals located in Lagos State. Several statistical tools were used to analyze the obtained data, including percentages, frequencies, mean item scores, and exploratory factor analyses were performed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dataset. The major findings from the study indicated that architectural design, cost planning, building system analysis, structural analysis, and contract documentation are areas in which DT is mostly applied in the construction industry. Further analysis using factor analysis revealed four clusters of application areas as the pre-contract stage, construction stage, post-contract stage, and modeling stage. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the effective utilization of DT in the construction industry, thereby contributing to informed decision-making and improved project management practices. The insights gained from this research can inform industry professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders in making informed decisions to drive positive changes and innovation within the sector.

“…Residential buildings consume about forty percent of global power and generate up to one-third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in developed and emerging nations [2,3]. Compared to other industries of the economy, such as the manufacturing, banking, and health sectors, there has been a lack of accurate standards and efficient project management practices in the building industry [4,5]. The susceptibility of the building industry to poor management and performance due to its multifaceted nature has been acknowledged [6,7].…”

“…Recently, the predominant points in defining the success of a project have been the project cost, the duration of the project and the quality requirement of the project [4]. The diverse, uncertain, and dynamic nature of the majority of construction projects has created apparent difficulty concerning meeting their initial declared objective [14].…”

The advent of digitalization has brought many benefits to all sectors of the economy, including construction. When fully implemented, various Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) tools have the potential not only to improve project planning and execution, but also to enhance project performance. This study therefore investigated the critical factors for the adoption of 4IR technologies in the construction industry, with the aim of promoting sustainable construction project delivery. The study was conducted using a questionnaire sent to experts in the construction industry. The data collected were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and categorized into operational, management, and demographic variables. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for model development using the four groups of data. In this way, variables that were not significant to the model were identified. Judging from the analysis, there is a need for proper user training in engineering tools in the construction industry. This is one of the drivers of the adoption of 4IR in the construction industry. In addition, the professionals, contractors, authorities, and other stakeholders responsible for managing projects in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry should ensure effective coordination and collaboration between participants in the construction industry.
