Abstract

The construction industry is experiencing increasing demands for efficiency and collaboration despite a historical resistance to technological change. Current advancements in Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twins still leave gaps in real-time communication, monitoring, and multi-stakeholder coordination. This thesis explores how Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can enhance project management by addressing these inefficiencies.


Using a mixed-methods approach, including literature reviews, case studies of five large construction projects in South and Southeast Asia, and interviews with industry professionals, the research assesses the impact of AR/VR in four management areas: planning, design, on-site monitoring, and communication. Findings indicate that AR site overlays reduced rework by 28% and design clash identification by 41%, while VR simulations improved risk assessments and stakeholder engagement. The study identifies adoption barriers like hardware costs, workforce literacy gaps, and integration challenges. A proposed AR/VR Integration Framework for Construction Management (AVIF-CM) offers guidelines and protocols for effective implementation in construction enterprises.
