Considering the importance of construction industry, it is surprising that innovation and digitization were neglected over past years. Digitization, innovation and industrialization are the steps which lead to efficiency, effectiveness and new opportunities. Presently, digital experts are ruling the world. In contrast, the construction industry is the least digitized one and innovation in this sector will result in cost reductions, new business opportunities, enhanced safety and effective resource utilization. Moreover, in future, advances in technology will alter the way in which professionals plan, design, build, address risk and increase profits. So far, digital engineering has partly revolutionized the infrastructure sector with precision being the key factor. This revolution which is also called Fourth Industrial Revolution also marked the beginning of the information age. This article provides a broad classification and through discussion of existing digital technologies and feasibility of their application in construction industry.
