An Evaluation on the Implement of Artificial Intelligence Technology on South African Construction Projects

Artificial Intelligence(AI) technology has the power to unlock the industry's greatest challenges faced such as poor efficiency issues, design errors, low productivity, and accidents on site. Therefore, the study is a literature review on the assessment of the implementation of AI technology on construction projects in South Africa. The study was carried out with reference to existing theoretical literature, published research, and internet sources. The study has adopted a quantitative research approach. The study has revealed the positive impact of implementing AI technology on construction projects and how it can transform the construction sector. This includes timeous delivery of the construction project(s), enhanced profitability, increased productivity, enhanced efficiency, and reduction of construction accidents. However, the adoption of AI technology in South Africa is still at an early development stage. The study would contribute to the existing body of knowledge of AI technology, particularly to developing countries where literature is lacking. Again, it will assist and enlighten the construction inclusive of consultant company owners to advance their firms and construction projects.
