Examples of technologies included inthese groups are digital visual capture of drone images, use of augmented reality on jobsites,digital twins, blockchain, and the use of artificial intelligence systems for predictive analyticsand Building Information Modeling (BIM). These technologies often work in tandem and spanseveral phases of the planning, design, construction, and operations building life cycle [1].Because of the pervasive nature of emerging technology, the construction industry might alsoincur transformations of its business models and production
