Abstract

The construction industry is one of the oldest industries in the world and one that continues to change with client demand. In recent decades, innovation in the construction industry has greatly improved, increasing productivity. Innovation in construction refers to the generation and implementation of new ideas to enhance the performance of construction processes and to gain economic, environmental, and social benefits. Modern innovative digital technologies in construction include application of virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR), blockchain, 3D printing, building information modeling (BIM), and off-site manufacturing. This chapter will explore the application of these innovative digital technologies in construction. It will particularly include recent case studies and examples from the New Zealand construction industry.
