“…Construction takes place in a non-standard environment and the construction process involves several interrelated stages and many participants in different locations and phases. In this regard, there are various implementation challenges, including high implementation costs [9], significant staff training costs, and resistance to change [10]; and the underdeveloped level of technology [11,12]. Sacks et al [13] reported that the transition of the Industry 4.0 paradigm in construction is far from finished because the principle of connectivity and system autonomy is missing in construction activities.…”

This paper addresses the challenges of embracing Construction 4.0 and proposes a framework for its implementation. The paper provides a brief background on Construction 4.0, as well as outlines the benefits and challenges of embracing it. Based on the literature review and deductive analysis, the paper proposes a framework that could help the construction industry to embrace Construction 4.0. The framework entails that governments assume the ownership of embracing Construction 4.0 since the nature of the construction industry and the adversarial relationships among the stakeholders involved defeat the implementation of Construction 4.0 without the presence of a patron.

“…Finally, the industry adoption of construction robots is still limited because of the cost and technology barriers [124]. Human worker acceptance is another factor that delays robot adoption at construction sites [125,126]. Research on improving construction robot acceptance is needed.…”

Robots have been deployed in workplaces to assist, work alongside, or collaborate with human workers on various tasks, which introduces new occupational safety and health hazards and requires research efforts to address these issues. This study investigated the research trends for robotic applications in occupational safety and health. The scientometric method was applied to quantitatively analyze the relationships between robotics applications in the literature. The keywords “robot”, “occupational safety and health”, and their variants were used to find relevant articles. A total of 137 relevant articles published during 2012–2022 were collected from the Scopus database for this analysis. Keyword co-occurrence, cluster, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation analyses were conducted using VOSviewer to determine the major research topics, keywords, co-authorship, and key publications. Robot safety, exoskeletons and work-related musculoskeletal disorders, human–robot collaboration, and monitoring were four popular research topics in the field. Finally, research gaps and future research directions were identified based on the analysis results, including additional efforts regarding warehousing, agriculture, mining, and construction robots research; personal protective equipment; and multi-robot collaboration. The major contributions of the study include identifying the current trends in the application of robotics in the occupational safety and health discipline and providing pathways for future research in this discipline.

“…Law et al (2022) studies perceived benefit and barrier factors that influence robotic adoption in Hong Kong through a questionnaire survey. In a similar vein, Kim et al (2022) categorizes stakeholders' perception of robotization derived from interviews into usefulness and output quality (technical), ease of use (technological) and job opportunity (business model) etc. Hwang et al (2022) conducts surveys and interviews to explore challenges and opportunities for adopting Industry 4.0 in Singapore.…”

“…Correspondingly, there is an increasing number of studies that investigates the industry needs and strategies for the adoption of digital fabrication (e.g., Pan and Pan 2020;Law et al 2022;Kim et al 2022). Scholarship explores the use of digital systems, such as BIM platforms, that can help stakeholders coordinate the management data including 3D models and algorithms that link to digital fabrication (e.g., Chen et al 2018;García de Soto et al 2019;Hall et al 2020).…”

Digital fabrication is growing in adoption within the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Because digital fabrication often requires a systematic rethinking of the design process, research emphasizes new understanding is needed for digital systems across multiple areas, including technical development, technological systems, organizational contexts, contractual provisions, and business models. Despite the importance of a system view, the current body of knowledge does not yet provide a consistent identification nor a comprehensive evaluation of factors and their complex interdependencies with one another. To fill this knowledge gap, this work categorizes and identifies the industry needs and perceived benefits under five areas. Next, the authors conducted a questionnaire survey, which received effective responses from 114 industry stakeholders. The authors analyzed the responses using Rao-Scott chi-squared tests of independence to identify 70 pairs of correlated categories. This work further investigates the variables' correlations using heat map visualization. Two variable-correlation mappings are presented as follows: (1) a multiaspect mapping of 292 variable correlations under 10 categories of the industry needs of fabrication information and aspects in design modeling, review, and documentation; and (2) a single-aspect mapping of 26 correlations regarding the industry needs for various benefits of digital systems to adopt digital fabrication. Thereby, this work proposes seven strategy propositions to achieve the benefits of digital systems when adopting digital fabrication in design. The consistent identification of the needs and their interdependencies constitute an integral part of knowledge in construction management.
