“…Data are collected to feed digital systems that generate more data that need to be transformed into information. In this context, technologies for data collection gain importance, such as laser scanner, Geographic Information System (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), and radio frequency identification (RFID) [56,77,78]. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been used to mine data, transforming it into information to make decisions [33] and the Internet of Things (IoT) allows the systematic sharing of data and information.…”

Connectivity, digitization, and emerging Industry 4.0 technology such as AI, automation, robotics, IoT, and cyber-physical space have transformed social relations, the means of production, and the world of labor. The construction industry has also been transformed by Industry 4.0 technologies, mainly through Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digitization. This revolution in the construction industry has been called Construction 4.0 and is based on the use of innovative technologies that promote digitalization and automation of design, construction, and management processes. Furthermore, the workforce for the construction industry in the context of Construction 4.0 must have adequate skills for this new scenario. Previous literature reviews have analyzed the idea of transitioning the construction industry to Construction 4.0 and implementing specific technologies in the industry. However, there has been limited exploration of the skills necessary for the Construction 4.0 workforce. This article aims to address this gap by identifying the technologies and skills that have been scientifically researched and applied in the construction industry, specifically related to the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Construction 4.0. Utilizing a scoping literature review in the Scopus database, this study seeks to identify: (i) emergent C4.0 technologies in the AEC industry; and (ii) which skills or competencies are demanded when using these technologies. All of our bibliographical searches are inserted and restricted to the concept of Construction 4.0. A total of 108 articles related to technologies and 15 related to skills in the Construction 4.0 context were selected for analysis. Twenty-one technologies were identified and grouped into five sets according to their similarities and applications: AI-assisted technologies, Advanced manufacture, Smart tools, Digital simulation/Visualization, and Data acquisition/detection. The skills were identified and grouped into soft and hard skills. However, the findings point out that the new skills needed by the workforce are described in a dispersed way, without a central theme of research in the context of Construction 4.0. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the transformations towards Construction 4.0 and provide data for industry and universities to respond appropriately to the new demands of the construction industry.

“…Concerning that, the human role and recognition and building human competencies to decrease complexity can be characterized as unappreciated factors in many construction projects around the globe. This, in turn, can be a source of various difficulties while applying methods and practices that may help improve the collaborative environment in construction [97,[99][100][101][102].…”

Improper understanding of complexity can be a leading factor in the failure of construction projects. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the complexity of construction projects. For this purpose, this study uses the systematic literature review (SLR) approach to review the related literature and propose a definition for complexity and the criteria that affect the degree of complexity in construction. The results of analyzing 49 studies from the literature showed that, generally, complexity is understood in three ways: the meaning of the word “complexity”, system and organizational complexity, and project complexity. Within these three types of definitions, it was found that “interdependency” and “multiple parts/parties” are the most frequently used keywords. The results also showed that another look at the current lingual definition of complexity is needed. Regarding the criteria, the results showed that the “number of stakeholders”, “scope and project objectives”, and “management structure” are the most important criteria to assess construction project complexity. Accordingly, this study provides a set of recommendations and strategies to help manage complexity in construction projects.

“…Construction takes place in a non-standard environment and the construction process involves several interrelated stages and many participants in different locations and phases. In this regard, there are various implementation challenges, including high implementation costs [9], significant staff training costs, and resistance to change [10]; and the underdeveloped level of technology [11,12]. Sacks et al [13] reported that the transition of the Industry 4.0 paradigm in construction is far from finished because the principle of connectivity and system autonomy is missing in construction activities.…”

A Framework for Embracing Construction 4.0

This paper addresses the challenges of embracing Construction 4.0 and proposes a framework for its implementation. The paper provides a brief background on Construction 4.0, as well as outlines the benefits and challenges of embracing it. Based on the literature review and deductive analysis, the paper proposes a framework that could help the construction industry to embrace Construction 4.0. The framework entails that governments assume the ownership of embracing Construction 4.0 since the nature of the construction industry and the adversarial relationships among the stakeholders involved defeat the implementation of Construction 4.0 without the presence of a patron.
