Summary of the goals, key findings, and gaps identified in the main pre-existing systematic reviews on the use of XR technologies in residential construction and real estate markets

Authors	Focus	Key findings	Gaps identified
Ahmed (2018)	AR/VR in construction project management	Highlights benefits for time and cost management	Lacks quantitative or model-based analysis on cost estimation
Al-Dhaimesh and Taib (2023)	Integration of AR with BIM in AEC	Enhanced visualisation and collaboration but technical challenges exist	No focus on VR’s impact on cost control or economic management of building projects
Casini (2022)	XR technologies for smart building operation and maintenance	Highlights operational efficiency and safety improvements	Does not address cost control or cost estimation related to XR
Hussin and Bakar (2023)	VR in real estate marketing	Emphasises improved sales strategies, particularly in the Malaysian market	Does not address property valuation variables such as price or time on the market
Prabhakaran et al. (2022)	Challenges of immersive technology in architecture and construction	Identifies barriers to technology adoption, such as cost and accessibility	Limited discussion on the economic implications of XR in cost estimation and management
Rockel et al. (2024)	Advanced technologies (AI, VR) in real estate	Discusses improved user experience and operational efficiency	No exploration of real estate appraisal variables
Safikhani et al. (2022)	Integration of VR and BIM in AEC	Benefits for visualisation and collaboration; notes technical challenges	Lacks focus on cost control or management impacts
Seagraves (2023)	AI, AR/VR, and management automation in real estate	Highlights potential of improving accuracy and efficiency but notes risks	Does not focus on real estate appraisal variables such as price or market value
Ullah et al. (2018)	Digital technology adoption in real estate	Highlights the potential of VR/AR to improve consumer experiences	Lacks a focus on valuation issues like price or market dynamics
Wang et al. (2020)	Digital technologies in off-site construction	Highlights productivity and safety improvements; calls for standardization	Descriptive focus on time and cost savings but not a primary focus
Zhang et al. (2020)	VR applications in the built environment	Identifies application areas like design and project management	Does not explore VR’s impact on cost estimation or property valuation
Zhu et al. (2018)	Immersive virtual environments for occupant energy behaviour	Benefits for simulating thermal and visual comfort; identifies technical challenges	Does not address VR’s impact on cost estimation or energy-related costs
