Big Data Technologies in Construction Management

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in digital technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), data sensing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) have profoundly transformed construction engineering and management. These emerging technologies have enabled the effective management, accessibility, and use of correct project performance records and real-time field data to support timely data-driven decision-making and promote efficient, safe, and sustainable construction processes. However, the utilization of such advanced technologies may involve many barriers, including trust and privacy concerns, data availability, and legal implications; if ignored, it can adversely affect construction management processes.

To further advance the use of advanced big data technologies in managing various phases of construction projects, we invite prospective authors to submit review, case study, and technical research papers to this Special Issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, new technologies for project planning, scheduling, cost estimation, budgeting, quality assurance, safety management, risk assessment, and resource allocation. We are also particularly interested in receiving original articles that enrich our understanding of required individual, organizational, and regulatory changes and intervention designs for boosting technology adoption.
