Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the integration of intelligent automation technologies in the construction management of buildings. As the building sector continues to embrace digital transformation, technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, digital twins, and IoT are increasingly being utilized to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of construction processes. Intelligent automation offers new possibilities for optimizing construction scheduling, resource allocation, site monitoring, and quality control.
We invite original research articles and case studies that explore how these technologies are being integrated into building construction sites to improve management practices and project outcomes. This Special Issue emphasizes innovations that support the real-time control, coordination, and decision-making processes during the construction phase.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Robotics and automation in building construction activities;
- AI-assisted construction scheduling and resource management;
- Digital twin applications for construction monitoring and control;
- IoT-based systems for site safety and progress tracking;
- Real-time data analytics for construction decision support;
- Computer vision applications in construction management;
- Human–automation interaction in building construction sites;
- Challenges and implementation strategies for automated construction management.
