Abstract

Digitalization around the world is gaining much popularity and the Nigerian construction is not an exception. Digitalization has been faced with a lot of challenges over the years. This study seeks to identify the barriers to digitalization in Nigerian construction industry and assess the benefits of digitalization with a view of improving productivity. The result revealed that the major barriers to digitalization are resistance to technology by stakeholders, high cost of digital technology, inadequate power supply, difficulties in adapting to change, inadequate digital facilities. There is need to improve the awareness of stakeholders on the benefit of digitalization.
