Application of IOT in Construction Industry

Construction is a continuous process that not only acts as a foundation for urbanization but also as a source of jobs and new complexes and structures. The need to construct new and creative structures is something that everyone understands and accepts. The phrase IoT in construction was recently introduced as an application. It refers to employing technological equipment, such as the IoT and the latest internet software, in the construction process to enhance project efficiency. The construction business is constantly striving to provide better services to its customers. Simultaneously, they are attempting to make building procedures more efficient and, as a result, profitable. In order to make these activities more effective in successful execution of construction projects, IoT-based intervention in the construction ecosystem should persist. There exist several studies concentrated on one or more domains for IoT implementation. However, holistic IoT application from the conceptual to hand-over phase is under-researched area. To this end, there exists limited studies concentrated on exploration of IoT-grounded applications from the lens of project management body of knowledge domains. Thus, the current study attempts to address the lacuna through the development of conceptual framework for IoT applications in construction projects through mixed methods approach.
