Automation in Construction Industry it’s Application and Barriers to Implementation on Construction Site

Abstract

Automation is transforming the construction sector, providing benefits such as better productivity, improved safety, and lower prices. Automation is used in a wide range of construction applications, from heavy equipment to off-site construction approaches such as prefabrication and modular construction. In front of this, the focus of this research is to determine the extent to which the use of automation, if entirely applied in construction sector, it also has a negative impact on the delivery of building projects. Modern equipment has helped the development of the construction industry. Several disadvantages of automated constructions are causing worker displacement, creating emotional stress for the workers, higher level of maintenance, high capital expenditures, causing geographical displacement of workers, lower degree of flexibility, employee dissatisfaction, decrease in productivity and the enslavement of labor by automated machinery
