Abstract

This research explores the digital technological factors influencing the development of the global construction industry in the context of rapid digitalization. Experts identified and evaluated key digital technologies using bibliometric analysis and the fuzzy Delphi method. The analysis identified eight critical digital technology factors impacting the construction industry: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Digital Twins, Big Data and Cloud Computing, IoT and Smart Building Technology (SBT), Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Construction Robotics, and Blockchain Technology. After two rounds of expert evaluations, AI and Construction Robotics were ranked as the most influential factors shaping the industry’s future. The research’s findings guide policy-making, industry development strategies, and vocational education, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary skills and innovation in construction technologies.
