Abstract :
Harnessing the fourth industrial revolution
for sustainable building projects requires digitization,
automation, and the increased use of Information and
Communications Technology (ICT). The construction
industry compared to other industries seems to lag
behind in incorporating these innovative technologies.
However, there are numerous challenges in
implementing and engaging the use of technology in the
construction industry. A review is done to identify the
issues underlining the adoption of technology in the
construction industry.
This study shows that the critical factor affecting
the successful implementation is the lack of awareness
and technical know-how. However, the study also
highlights that there are numerous opportunities in the
future if critical steps are taken to bridge the gap in
technical knowledge for sustainable building projects
whilst adopting the technology of the fourth industrial
revolution.
