“…Getuli et al (2018) review existing research into construction health and safety‐related information and communication technologies, particularly concerning BIM and VR, and propose a project framework that can guide future research and applications of the use of BIM‐enabled VR for security purposes to increase the safety culture throughout the project lifecycle. Au et al (2019) establish a four‐step process model for the application of simulation and VR technology to green innovation through a case study of a project in its proposal phase to help future practitioners design and implement simulations as well as apply VR technology in a more organized manner for social and green innovations. Atwa et al (2019) evaluate different landscape design alternatives with the help of VR headsets and mobile devices, combining sustainable principles with the users' esthetic opinions to guide future sustainable landscape design standards for green business parks.…”

Against a background of global resource shortage and climate change, there is an urgency for the construction industry to aim towards sustainable development. With the rapid development of information technology, the emergence of extended reality (XR) has provided new ideas and options for sustainable construction (SC). Such technologies are applied in research and practice of the whole construction lifecycle, which can well meet the requirements of SC. This paper presents a critical review of XR applications in SC, aiming to systematically summarize the specific uses and advantages of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies. This study also examines the gap in research into the imbalance between the use of technology and the construction stages involved. Most XR applications focus on the preconstruction stage, while visualization and interactivity are the main features for further application. Through qualitative analyses, different applications of XR are introduced in stages throughout the entire lifecycle of building projects. In addition, the current challenges and limitations are presented, and several suggestions are proposed to facilitate further advancements in SC research and practice in the near future. This review provides valuable information to help stakeholders understand the advances in XR research and benefit future exploration and practice in the field.
