Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The AECO industry (architecture, engineering, construction, and operations) is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by digitalization. The adoption of advanced information and communication technologies is enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and overall project quality.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences, titled "Advanced Services for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry", focuses on the integration of cutting-edge tools and methodologies into construction engineering, with a particular emphasis on building information modelling (BIM), digital twins, 3D scanning and modelling, advanced numerical simulations, and structural monitoring. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in construction services and to offer valuable insights into emerging trends (e.g., 3D printing, BIM-enabled digital building permits, drone-enabled 3D scanning), technological innovations (e.g., augmented reality/virtual reality, Internet of Things, off-site construction), lessons learned, and best practices. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts, this Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive the advancement of construction engineering practices.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
