The successful implementation of digital technologies (DT) in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects necessitates workflow adjustment, crew scheduling, equipment optimization, efficient collaboration among project parties. Understanding the capabilities industry professionals is essential for effective deployment DT. This paper examines competence AEC practitioners 14 types DT through a questionnaire survey involving 428 participants. Descriptive statistics, including...

Purpose With growing concern about sustainable development and increased awareness of environmental issues, digital technologies (DTs) are gaining prominence becoming a promising trend to improve productivity, sustainability project performance in the construction industry. Nonetheless, uptake DTs industry has been limited plagued with roadblocks. This study aims identify critical barriers for organisations adopt demonstrate relationships between organisational characteristics perceived...

Despite the benefits of digital technologies (DT) to enhance performance construction industry, implementation DT in practice has lagged behind. Existing studies have extensively investigated readiness single DT, but with limited types and a lack practicability for practitioners. Based on questionnaire survey, we developed model self-assessment tool assessing companies. Among 15 indicators surveyed, 'organizational culture', 'leadership top management support' 'top management's perception'...

To what extent does a firm's digital readiness influence its competence in implementing initiatives?This study employs deep-learning-based dual-stage approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to demonstrate quantify this relationship.Data were sourced from questionnaire survey involving 428 architecture, engineering construction (AEC) firms New Zealand.The PLS-SEM analysis confirmed the positive correlation between of an...

Purpose Despite extensive academic research related to digital technologies (DT), their integration into architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) projects lags in practice. This paper aims discover DT deployment patterns emerging trends real-life AEC projects. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology was adopted, including individual analyses comparative multiple-case analyses. Findings The results revealed the temporal distribution of practical projects, specific...

This paper describes obstacles in using current generation software for real-time 3D visualisations architectural representations.The discussed are focused on three areas, controllability of fi rst person view navigation, spatial quality environment and geometry interoperability.With the increased infl uence leading computer games, how can AEC industries leverage potentials they offer, advanced user interaction realistic environments.The compares CAD BIM with Game engines.

The research in this paper is presented from the perspective of a designer interested investigating using artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning, to act as copilot during architectural design phases.Significant recent interest has been evident in, for instance, rapidly developing text-to-image and intelligent chat AI areas.However, we have particular focus undertaken series feasibility experiments explore potential enabling designer's exploitation consequently effect,...

In a climate where standard methods of construction are being challenged, developments in engineered timbers allowing mass timber to be explored as sustainable alternative current building that can change the future built environment.Cross-laminated (CLT) is at forefront this evolution and, with advancement computational design and digital fabrication tools, there lies an opportunity redefine construction.This project creates connections inspired by traditional Japanese joinery have been...

How do we know what are looking at while viewing inside Building Information Modelling (BIM) models?Current architectural software typically provides disconnected methods of aiding spatial cognition.There is a strong history navigation tools developed for controlling our exploration and movement in BIM models, study by Ruby Darken John Sibert (1993) found these had influence on people's behaviour understanding digital space.People perceive navigate space differently depending their...

The paper explores innovative methods of navigation for experiencing and spatial comprehension complex 3D digital environments.Common modes environments are difficult to learn use within multi level models often result in the viewer becoming disoriented or stuck.By drawing on concepts from computer gaming way finding this research will explore intuitive systems.These systems enable user engage experience space much more profoundly than current CAD BIM model viewing software.The demonstrates...

The research in this paper addresses the challenges that had to be overcome create a functioning VR controlled robotic device.We consider what communication and control systems are needed deliver such also ask if teleoperation of robot using provide can sufficiently accurate responsive means delivering site construction operations.The resulting aspects we report on issues addressed, accuracy dexterity simulated situations, practical as reducing lag between action reaction.

The research developed in this paper is the workflow to create a self-supporting structure from sheet materials using robotic fabrication and computational tools.This focuses on timber materials, as material that can be altered variety of ways.Japanese connections were strong influence for research, due its prolonged lifespan sustainable advantages.In past, techniques have been limited design limitations.This explored how current technology, specifically parametric software combined with...
