The role of Internet of Things in delivering smart construction (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Gbadamosi, A., Oyedele, L., Mahamadu, A., Kusimo, H., & Olawale, O. (2019, July). The role of Internet of Things in delivering smart construction. Presented at CIB World Building Congress 2019, Hong Kong SAR, China

The construction industry is the least digitised sector in the world and it contributes significantly less, in terms of productivity, to the global economy than its average potential. Current trends in the construction industry are aimed at leveragin... Read More about The role of Internet of Things in delivering smart construction.

Understanding environmental incidents on construction sites in Australia: The causal factors, environmental impact and their relations (2019)
Journal Article
