Geospatial Applications and Risk-related Management in the Construction Industry

Le résumé fourni par la source

The global construction industry is experiencing significant innovations, disruptions, and future trends reshaping how projects are planned, executed, and managed. Innovations such as geospatial technology, Building Information Modelling (BIM), robotics, and advanced materials are revolutionising construction processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs. Disruptions, such as adopting renewable energy, sustainable construction practices, and modular construction methods, challenge traditional approaches and promote environmentally friendly solutions. Future trends include integrating geospatial technology, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and artificial intelligence (AI) for project management and risk assessment and using drones for surveying and monitoring. This study aimed to provide an overview of existing studies and identify key themes and gaps in the field, especially in the Caribbean region. The finding revealed that geospatial applications in construction industries had no relevance or were not recognised in the Caribbean’s construction sectors, unlike other regions of the world. Adoption of this technology in the Caribbean construction sector is essential. Construction professionals in this region may improve project planning, boost infrastructure resilience, and reduce risks related to natural hazards by utilising geospatial technology in the construction sector and risk management in the Caribbean.
