Methods of Managing Construction Information in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era

The purpose of this study was to present techniques for managing construction information systematically in the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) period. The efficient handling of information is essential to the success of building projects. Information is gathered, kept, distributed, archived, deleted, or destroyed. Effective information management guarantees that the appropriate individuals have access to the appropriate information at the appropriate time, enabling them to make informed decisions. As a result, information collecting, sharing, and storage for construction-related operations will be improved. This research seeks to investigate how various 4IR tools can be used to achieve effective information management. In order to collect information from architecsts, civil engineers, quantity surveyors, mechanical and electrical engineers, construction managers, and project managers, the study used a quantitative survey technique with the use of a questionnaire. With the help of SPSS, the data were analyzed, and the appropriate measure of dispersion and inferential statistics were used. The study found that using cutting-edge materials, applying artificial intelligence, applying quantum computing, and using autonomous vehicles are the top 4 IR techniques that may be used to manage construction information. Additional research showed that the techniques have been successfully used in other industries, such as manufacturing, leading to development in both the economy and industry. The study came to the conclusion that 4IR tools should be used in construction enterprises for effective and efficient information transmission.
