“…Interrelated with the subtheme of time, procurement is an umbrella term that describes the lack of resources and systems available to support the uptake and ongoing use of technology. Findings convey key examples including the unknown of software in the market (Delgado et al, 2020), limited training in technology (Dallasega et al, 2020) and expensive hardware and equipment (Alizadehsalehi et al, 2020). Due to these disadvantages, the adoption of technology is time-consuming and noted as unpractical.…”

Whilst research of immersive technology has been growing, substantial efforts thus far have been scattered. Conflicting ideas and arguments from scholars provoke uncertainty and questions about the validity of these outputs in fostering more extensive implementation of immersive technology in the construction industry. Consequently, the direction for further developments in research remains unclear. This study aims to identify the status quo of immersive technology adoption in construction. A systematic review with thematic analysis was conducted. Common themes and concerns about the use of immersive technology in the construction are classified under the framework of SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). The results indicate that whilst ‘strengths’ and ‘opportunities’ display a broad array of applications and functions that are derived from real benefits, a substantial amount of opportunities mentioned are driven by optimism. Alternatively, the results from ‘weaknesses’ and ‘opportunities’ identify several limitations involved in the uptake of immersive technology in the construction industry. Findings of this study provide vision that can help direct resources to those measures that can best meet the needs of construction industry. It is suggested that future resources are better to be put on integration with proven effective systems like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. New developments should due consider the real demand of the industry.

“…Existing simulation games are often criticized to lack realism, e.g., with construction being depicted by paper airplanes or in miniature format with alternative materials such as marbles or Lego (von Heyl 2015). Dallasega et al (2020) implement VR in a simulation game, but the segment is still not realistic as the task of building Lego is just transferred to a virtual environment. Furthermore, most games lack data collection as this is handled manually by observers.…”

Whereas Lean Construction is a state-of-the-art practice in construction, associated simulation games in academic or professional education still rely on manual data input and analysis. Proposed is a digital learning platform that teaches the concept of lean construction using an active, hands-on serious gaming environment involving multiple players simultaneously in virtual reality. The novelty is to share rapid feedback with the participants while playing the game. Findings through testing demonstrate they benefit from the run-time data analysis and more effectively understand lean principles to eliminate waste, allow collaboration, and optimize quality in the value-added building chain.

“…In this cycle, artifacts representing the synergies among LM-VE, LM-BIM, VE-BIM, BIM-BDA, LM-BDA, VE-BDA, and BIM-BDA have been investigated with an in-depth literature review. A literature review that sets a base for the rigor cycle shows that used concepts are generally greater in numbers in the field of LM-BIM integration [15,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. BIM features are employed for more than only the visualization aspect of lean construction.…”

Lean Based Maturity Framework Integrating Value, BIM and Big Data Analytics: Evidence from AEC Industry

The construction industry is considered as one of the least productive, highest energy consuming, and least digitized industries. The Lean Management (LM) philosophy became a significant way for eliminating non-value-added activities and wastes during a building’s lifecycle. However, studies have shown that philosophies are not efficient by themselves to solve the issues of the construction industry. They need to be supported with the appropriate technologies and tools. Therefore, the integrated use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) with LM or Value Engineering (VE) were proposed in the literature. Nonetheless, it was also seen that BIM can provide more insights and improvements when BIM is integrated with data analysis tools to analyze BIM data. In the literature, the synergies between these concepts are generally addressed pairwise, and there is no comprehensive framework which identifies their relationships. Therefore, this study aims to develop a maturity framework that facilitates the adoption of LM, VE, BIM, and Big Data Analytic (BDA) concepts to address long-standing productivity and digitalization issues in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Design Science Research (DSR) methodology and its three-cycle view (relevance, rigor, and design cycle) were applied to build the proposed maturity framework. Two interviews were performed to identify and observe research problem in relevance cycle. In the rigor cycle, a comprehensive literature review was performed to create a base for the development of the maturity framework. In addition to the developed base of the framework, lean processes were added to this cycle. In the design cycle, the developed framework was evaluated and validated by five experts through face-to-face interviews. The importance of employer’s requirements to adopt the proposed methodologies, the negative impact of change orders, the importance of pre-construction phases to facilitate value creation and waste elimination, and the usage of common data environment with BIM were identified as the prominent application and adaptation issues.
