Why is it important?

The study is crucial for researchers as it explores the transformative impact of automation, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and digital technologies on the construction industry. By analyzing the applications of BIM and identifying its limitations, the research lays the groundwork for integrating automation, Construction Digital Twin, and AI with IoT to address longstanding challenges such as pollution and wasteful energy consumption in construction. This study provides a roadmap for leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance the effectiveness of the construction value chain and mitigate adverse effects on the life-cycle of buildings.

Perspectives

As the author of this publication, I am excited about the potential it holds for revolutionizing the construction industry. Delving into the realm of automation, BIM, and digital technology applications, this study highlights the possibilities of creating more sustainable and efficient built environments. Personally, I find it inspiring to envision how these innovative approaches can not only streamline processes but also minimize environmental impact, paving the way for a greener and smarter future in construction. This research serves as a catalyst for further exploration and implementation of advanced technologies, driving progress and transformation in the field.
