Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) during the construction phase, emphasising how intelligent technologies can enhance coordination, automation, and risk management throughout project delivery, particularly in digital and BIM-enabled construction environments. The issue particularly focuses on how AI-driven tools support proactive identification and management of cost, time, safety, and quality risks in complex construction environments. The Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics addressing technical advancements, implementation frameworks, and the socio-technical implications of AI-enabled construction risk management:
Clash Detection and Coordination; Construction Sequencing and 4D Simulation; 5D BIM and Predictive Cost Control; Progress Tracking and Site Monitoring; Quality and Defect Detection; Safety Management and Risk Prediction; Construction Logistics and Resource Optimisation; Digital Manufacturing and Offsite Construction; Robotics and Automated Assembly; AI in Contract Administration; Data Analytics for Productivity Measurement; Generative AI for Construction Planning; Integration with IoT and Sensor Data; AI for Sustainability and Waste Reduction; Digital Twin for Construction Control and Feedback; Risk Assessment and AI Reliability; Ethical and Legal Issues in AI-Enabled Construction; Delay and Cost Overruns; Time and Scheduling Management.
