Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Information technology has had enormous effects on the building construction in the last decade. The effects have resonated in various disciplines, such as organization efficiency, communication approach and employee behavior. Due to the increasingly complex projects and urgent labor shortage, it is important for the industry to have a rapid transformation based on the specific applications of information technologies in building construction management. The aim of this Special Issue is to improve construction management efficiency through information technology. In recent years, the rapid evolution of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, etc. has accelerated the transformation of the construction industry. Information technology is widely applied in the planning, design, construction, and operation stages of buildings. However, the theoretical frameworks, empirical effect, and application difficulty need further identification.
This Special Issue encourages papers to explore information technologies in building construction management at the project, firm, or industry level. Original research, theoretical and experimental works, case studies, and review papers are all invited for possible publication.
