Abstract
The increased development of technology in recent years has provided businesses incredibly efficient systems to approach projects. Though studies find that globally, the construction industry lags in the implementations of such technologies in comparisons to other major industries.
In order to present evidence of the viable implementation of emerging technology, a detailed literature review has been undertaken that has established the biggest influence to construction performance, methodology and productivity, are: time, cost and satisfaction; planning, scheduling and documentation processing; and safety, labour efficiently and communication, respectfully. These aspects of construction where crossed referenced with the projected technology set to have the greatest affect on the industry, within the closest timeframe to discover an industry conclusion of Building Information Modelling, Virtual Reality and/or Augmented Reality.
A survey of 22 industry professions consisting 2 females and 22 males, ranging from 21-60 has established that the sampled individuals agreed upon the benefits, though holistically, the industry has a suboptimal knowledge that is decelerating implementation.
The report established the impediments causing the lack of integrations, within the Australian market, are primary due to lack of training, financial viability of training, and/or the opinion its not currently required. This data collected shows the general acceptance of change, varies quite significantly between the demographical divisions of positions and age, whereas factors such as construction sectors, and gender effect knowledge and implementation of the technologies at a minimal.
