Abstract
This dissertation investigates into the field of project management concerning 3D printed constructions and buildings by delving into the unique challenges and opportunities brought about by this innovative construction method. With the rapid progress of 3D printing technology in the construction sector, comes a demand for adjusting project management approaches to accommodate this building technique. By conducting an in-depth literature review analysis of academic studies and industry reports covering the period from 2015 to 2024, the study examines current project management methodologies while trying to identify key issues in implementing 3D concrete printing and by proposing new strategies to enhance efficiency and sustainability in construction projects. The research shows gaps in existing project management framework when it comes to tackling the scheduling and quality assurance challenges raised by 3D concrete printing technology. It also highlights the absence of standardisation in procedures and materials as a key barrier to widespread adoption. The study sheds light on how digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence are integrated with conventional project management methodologies. The research findings indicate that although 3D concrete printing presents promising opportunities to enhance construction sustainability and efficiency it necessitates tailored project management strategies to optimize its advantages. This lays the groundwork for creating project management strategies designed for 3D printing in construction projects which could enhance project results and adds insights to the existing pool of information regarding the handling of innovative construction technologies while offering practical implications, for industry professionals and scholars involved in the field of 3D printed building projects.
