Abstract
The construction industry, an important sector of the global economy, with large data generation and huge employment opportunities, requires automation for enhanced productivity and contribution to the Gross Domestic Products (GDP). The integration of Cloud Computing (CC) with Building Information Modelling (BIM), however cannot deliver the future construction, hence, the need to explore the other specialised Emergent Technologies (ET). In this chapter, critical appraisal of existing literature to identify the application domain, problem areas and intersections between CC and ET were carried out. Case studies were cited to demonstrate the benefits of the adoption of CC and ET such as, BIM, Internet of Things (IoT) and Intelligent Analytics. The reluctance of this industry was also identified and some suggestions were proffered to mitigate the potential risks. However, the adoption is believed to have the potential to open up issues. Hence, the adoption is conjectured to be viewed as an asset.
