Evaluating cloud computing in construction projects to avoid project delay
The revolutionary impact of Cloud Computing (CC) technologies has been felt across multiple industries for an extended period. Although the construction industry is expanding over time, the role of innovation in construction is significant. However, not all stakeholders know about adopting and implementing CC for better project delivery. Hence, this paper aims to assist construction industry stakeholders in understanding the current challenges associated with using CC in the sector. The relevant literature review was conducted through a systematic data acquisition method to identify the factors in applying CC in the construction industry. The primary aim is to improve understanding of the current state of CC and its use to reduce delays in research and construction operations and to enhance safety in such projects. A survey approach was utilized in this study with the application of SPSS analysis. The outcome shows that CC may potentially improve overall industrial efficiency by gathering and leveraging data to increase productivity throughout the process, from conception to execution to exploitation. The challenges in access to CC can emerge due to various factors, including challenges in internet connectivity, economic considerations, availability of servers and data management. Furthermore, a conceptual framework has been proposed to provide summarised and organised key factors for CC application in construction projects to tackle project delays. However, the overall evaluation of factors of CC brings some encouraging and positive output which may transform the construction industry significantly. © 2024 The Authors
