Transforming Construction: Emerging Technologies in Malaysian Construction Industry offers a profound exploration of how emerging technologies are reshaping the construction landscape in Malaysia. This pioneering volume highlights the crucial role of digital transformation in advancing efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the industry. The book features 10 chapters, each addressing specific technologies and their applications across various stages of construction projects. 

These include innovations such as Big Data Analytics (BDA) for trend forecasting and project optimization, Augmented Reality (AR) for enhancing visualization and stakeholder collaboration, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for precise project monitoring and cost management, and the Internet of Things (IoT) for seamless connectivity in the construction lifecycle. Written with a multidisciplinary perspective, this book is designed to serve as a vital resource for students, researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. It bridges the gap between academic research and practical implementation, offering real-world case studies, actionable insights, and evidence-based strategies for integrating technology into both pre-construction and post-construction workflows.

Through critical discussions on topics such as the challenges of adoption, the need for skilled talent, and the cost implications of new technologies, the book sheds light on the transformative potential of digital tools in addressing persistent issues such as inefficiencies, delays, and fragmentation in the industry. It also emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among stakeholders to overcome barriers and unlock the full potential of these technologies. Whether you are an aspiring student looking to understand the future of construction, a researcher keen to explore the interplay between technology and sustainability, or a professional seeking to stay ahead in a competitive market, Transforming Construction provides the knowledge and inspiration needed to lead the way in the digital era of construction. 

This book stands as a landmark publication, highlighting Malaysia’s commitment to embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) and showcasing how emerging technologies can revolutionize the construction sector for a more innovative and sustainable future.
