Technical mediation and digital technologies in construction practice

Digital technologies and users of these interact with each other in different ways. This study explores the influence this interaction on users’ behavior construction practice: where how do digital their users, what is effect? The theory technical mediation applied to understand influences. deepens analysis human-technology interactions by adding that humans co-shape other. Based a literature review studies projects, such as Building Information Modelling, Radio Frequency Identification, Augmented/Virtual Reality are studied. Mediating effects analyzed from two perspectives: which side does technology grasp human body, force visibility impacts? It shown practice play ‘actant’ roles influencing or directing certain directions: become natural extensions body (physical influence), function ‘quasi-others’ (cognitive influence) determine possible human–technology through ‘decisive’ design (contextual influence). Different preconditions for successful implementing using can be related actant roles.
