This handbook models the concept of Construction 4.0 on the idea of Industry 4.0, focusing on a confluence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the design, construction, and operation of built environment assets. With the widespread use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is poised for significant transformation.

The critical challenge in this transformation lies in the fragmented state of teaching, research, and professional practice within the built environment sector. This handbook aims to address this fragmentation by providing a comprehensive overview of Construction 4.0, including its current state, emerging trends, and technologies, as well as the people and process issues surrounding the impending change.

Construction 4.0 is presented as a framework that integrates several broad themes:

  • Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly, offsite manufacture)
  • Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots, cobots, drones)
  • Digital and computing technologies (BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation, augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration)
