Virtual Project Management In Construction: A Systematic Review Of Technologies, Performance Outcomes, And Research Gaps

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM), Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), And The Internet Of Things (IoT) Are Some Of The Technologies That Are Driving The Construction Industry's Rapid Digital Transformation. Virtual Project Management (VPM), Which Enables Data-driven Decision-making, Real-time Communication, And Remote Coordination, Is Made Possible By These Technologies. This Study Uses A Structured Methodology Based On PRISMA Standards To Give A Systematic Review Of VPM In Construction. To Assess Important Technologies, Performance Results, And Implementation Issues, 147 Peer-reviewed Studies Were Examined. The Results Show That VPM Increases Safety Results, Lowers Project Costs By 10–20%, And Improves Schedule Performance By 15–25%. Effective Implementation Is Nevertheless Hampered By Obstacles Like Cybersecurity Concerns, Resistance To Change, Interoperability Problems, And A Lack Of Technical Skills. The Paper Highlights Important Research Gaps, Such As The Requirement For Scalable Digital Twin Applications, Explainable AI Models, And Integrated Frameworks. In Addition To Providing A Thorough Overview Of VPM, The Report Suggests Future Research And Industry Adoption Directions.
