Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to explore the transformative impact of emerging technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), on construction logistics management systems.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) in three phases: focused database searches to identify research on modern construction logistics technologies, qualitative content analysis to examine key emerging technologies and Scientometric analysis using VOS viewer to highlight trends and advancements in smart construction logistics systems.FindingsThe integration of BIM, AI and IoT enhances efficiency and productivity in construction logistics by facilitating real-time data utilization for supply chain optimization, reducing delays and minimizing errors. This transition towards cost-effectiveness and timely project completion signifies a move to streamlined operations and data-driven decision-making. However, challenges such as entrenched conventional practices, resistance to change and concerns regarding privacy and data security present significant challenges.Research limitations/implicationsDespite its significance, key limitations include reliance on existing literature, which may introduce bias due to database access restrictions, potentially overlooking relevant or recent developments in construction logistics technologies and the evolving technological landscape.Originality/valueThis study provides valuable insights for decision-makers and stakeholders within the construction industry, offering guidance on navigating challenges and harnessing the full potential of BIM, AI and IoT. Recommendations include addressing privacy concerns while leveraging innovative solutions for improved construction logistics management. The research sets the groundwork for further studies aimed at understanding and optimising the dynamic influence of emerging technologies on construction practices.
