摘要
Cloud computing technologies have revolutionised several industries for several years. Although the construction industry is well placed to leverage these technologies for competitive and operational advantage, the diffusion of the technologies in the industry follows a steep curve. This study therefore highlights the current contributions and use cases of cloud computing in construction practices. As such, a systematic review was carried out using ninety-two (92) peer-reviewed publications, published between 2009 and 2019. A key highlight of the findings is that cloud computing is an innovation delivery enabler for other emerging technologies (building information modelling, internet of things, virtual reality, augmented reality, big data analytics) in the construction industry. As such, this paper brings to the fore, current and future application areas of cloud computing in the construction industry. The paper also identifies barriers to broader adoption of cloud computing in the construction industry and discusses strategies for overcoming these barriers.
