- Description: Abstract: The complex nature of the architectural, engineering and construction industry and increasing demand for innovative and technical construction projects by clients, have resulted in increasing adoption and application of information technology at the design, construction and post-construction phases. One of the current innovative technological method is automation, which has gained popularity in some sectors of the economy like manufacturing, banking and entertainment, among others. To promote the usage of this technique in the construction industry, this study examines a number of success factors for the adoption of automation for various activities and processes involved in execution of construction projects. Using survey method, a close-ended questionnaire was designed around 18 drivers obtained from existing and related literature materials on automation and construction process. The research instrument were thereafter administered to 50 construction professionals including architects, engineers, construction managers, quantity surveyors and construction project managers...

- Description: Abstract: The growth of infrastructure and development in an emerging country like South Africa may requires the construction industry to shift from traditional methods of construction to modern ones in order to improve productivity and enhance performance. However, most of the existing studies have been tailored towards the awareness, willingness, drivers, barriers and benefits of such modern methods, including automation and robotics. Like other technological advancement, there are some negative impacts that should be assessed and understood by stakeholders with a view to managing and minimizing them. In view of this, the purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which the usage of automation can influence negatively on the delivery of construction projects if fully implemented in the South African construction industry...
