Integration of Emerging Technologies with Construction Practices in Australia
Although the construction sector significantly bolsters the Australian economy, it is widely recognised for lagging behind other industries in adopting emerging technologies. This study reviews existing literature to explore the current state of technology integration in the Australian construction industry, focusing on its impact on safety, cost, quality, and project timelines. The research methodology involved conducting interviews and surveys with industry stakeholders to collect qualitative and quantitative data regarding technology integration. The analysis of survey data provided insights into the current and anticipated future adoption of emerging technologies in Australia, identifying significant obstacles that impede the industry’s digital transformation. Based on the survey results, a specialised system was developed for Tier 1 and Tier 2 construction firms, enabling them to evaluate their present and predicted future use of emerging technologies. Additionally, this system helps university graduates gauge their understanding and awareness of emerging technologies to meet the expectations of leading industry professionals. The findings of this study aim to enhance the understanding and implementation of emerging technologies within the construction sector, thereby fostering a new generation of professionals who recognise the significant potential of these technologies to revolutionise construction practices.
