Purpose Current facility management (FM) practices are inefficient and ineffective, partially because of missing information and communication issues. Information and communications technologies (ICT) are asserted to provide a promising solution for managing and operating facilities. However, the impact of ICT applications on current FM practices needs to be validated and the perception of FM professionals on ICT-based FM needs to be understood. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the impacts and the perception of ICT application on FM practice and further develop an ICT-based integrated framework for smart FM practices. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the objective, the research starts with reviewing several promising ICT for FM, including building information modeling, geographic information systems, unmanned aerial vehicle and augmented reality. On this basis, a conceptional framework was synthesized in consideration of the benefits of each technology. A survey questionnaire to FM professionals was conducted to evaluate the proposed framework and identify the challenges of adopting ICT in the FM industry. Furthermore, return on investment and strength, weakness, opportunities and threats analysis have been used in this paper as evaluation methods for ICT industry adoption. Findings The survey results are validated by FM professionals for the future engagement of the integrated ICT applications. Also, the proposed framework can assist the decision-makers to have comprehensive information about facilities and systematize the communication among stakeholders. Originality/value This research provides an integrated framework for smart FM to improve decision-making, capitalizing on the ICT applications. Apart from this, the study sheds light on future research endeavors for other ICT applications.

“…Surveyors may sometimes have to work in dangerous environments, for example, a mine site (Siebert and Teizer 2014). UAVs can provide images of the entire site and enables accurate measurements to be taken rather than assumptions made from brief inspections (e.g., Siebert and Teizer 2014;Kaamin et al 2017).…”

Aerial robotic technology has potential for use in a wide variety of civil engineering applications. Such technology potentially offers low-cost methods to replace expensive structural health monitoring activities such as visual inspection. Aerial robots also have potential uses in civil construction and for regional surveys. This paper presents the results of a review on the applications of aerial robotic technology in civil engineering. Such civil engineering applications can be classified into three broad areas: (i) monitoring and inspection of civil infrastructure; (ii) site management, robotic construction, and maintenance and (iii) post-disaster response surveys and rapid damage assessments. The motivations for uptake of aerial robotics in the civil engineering industry generally fall into the following categories: (i) cost savings, (ii) improved measurement capability and (iii) safety improvements. The categories of aerial robotic use in civil engineering are then classified as either ‘established’ or ‘emerging’ uses.

“…Construction workers may sometimes be required to work in unsafe environments [20]. Drones can provide images of entire sites and enable more precise measurements than assumptions [20,22]. The data collected by the drone will be complete and accurate because the drone can record visual images continuously during the flight.…”

“…Producing 3D models is also a commonly discussed method of increasing the reliability and accuracy of progress assessments [20,22]. Comparing as-planned Building Information Models (BIM) with as-built models can help project managers determine if specific milestones have or have not been reached, and to what magnitude of difference, at each location [20,23]; to show progression and when materials or additional resources will be required (potentially improving cost-efficiency) [20,24].…”

The construction sector is one of the sectors where productivity is low compared to other production sectors. Studies have shown that drone technologies can increase productivity in construction. Thus, the use of drones in construction sites has increased in recent years, especially in developed countries. Although drones are technical aerial vehicles, this study focused on non-technical aspects of the use of drone technologies such as current and possible usage areas, advantages and disadvantages of using a drone, issues that should be considered while procuring a drone for a construction site and legal regulations related to the use of drones. In this context, a narrative literature review was conducted and articles examining the use of drones in construction sites were investigated. In addition to the studies in the literature, practical applications were also discussed. The study indicated that drones might make significant contributions to construction management activities. It is expected that this study serves to increase the use of drone technology in construction project management by introducing it in a comprehensive way to the stakeholders.
