An Appraisal into the Potential Application of Big Data in the Construction Industry

Abstract: The volume of data generated by the construction industry has increased exponentially following an intense use of modern technologies. The data explosion thus lead towards the big data phenomenon which is envisioned to revolutionize the construction like never before. Like any other technologies, big data is a disruptive paradigm and inevitably will give impact to the construction industry. As the industry is refocusing towards an improved productivity, the appeal to embrace big data is certain given the value… Show more

“…This result concurred with the work of Low, Chen and Wu (2011) and . Interestingly, Ismail, Bandi and Maaz, (2018) in the construction context, argued that layered and complex data sources negatively impact data utilisation, which the industry needs to fathom in order establish newer frontlines for the construction sector. Project focused, active, uneven characteristic of the sector results into difficulty in data integration and analytics during the course of a project amongst varied stakeholders (Cerovsek, 2011).…”

“…erefore, they can be categorised as big data-inspired techniques, which, by definition, deal with the large amounts of information required for decision-making. e term "big data" refers to an industrial revolution brought about by the use of vast amounts of data-characterised by volume, variety, and velocity (the 3Vs)-for business improvement, cost optimisation, and prediction of revenue [50]. e three basic functions of big data are recognition of customer priorities, prediction of market trends, and business process optimisation.…”
