Big Data in Construction: Current Applications and Future Opportunities

Big data have become an integral part of various research fields due to the rapid advancements in digital technologies available for dealing with data. The construction industry is no exception and has seen a spike being generated introduction disruptive technologies. However, despite availability such technologies, lagging harnessing big This paper critically explores literature published since 2010 identify trends how can benefit from presence tools as computer-aided drawing (CAD) building information modelling (BIM) provide great opportunity researchers further improve infrastructure be developed, monitored, or improved future. gaps existing been explored detailed analysis was carried out different ways which storage work relevance industry. engineering (BDE) statistics are among most crucial steps integrating technology construction. results this study suggest that while studies set stage improving research, integration associated into not very clear. Among future opportunities, safety, site management, heritage conservation, project waste minimization quality improvements key areas.
