NoAuthor(s)Goal of the studyQualitative results/implications
1Biel (2021) Using BIM and AR to support the defect management process during the acceptance of flats in multi-family residential buildingsThe MWBIM application can support the process of defect management and cost estimation during the acceptance of flats
2Bourhim and Cherkaoui (2020) Using Virtual Reality to simulate people’s behaviour during fire emergencies in high-rise residential buildingsVR simulation of fire emergencies can be effective. Moreover, the suggested approach is less costly and demanding than fire evacuation drills in the physical environment
3Chen and Liu (2008) Construction of an Internet-based digital construction project management system and dynamic database, also using VR and IDSS technologiesIncreased efficiency in terms of cost, time, quality, safety and sustainability
4Dolzhencko et al. (2021) Developing a library of parametric objects, which can also be visualised in a virtual reality environment, to simplify planning, management and cost control in the construction of wall barriers in residential buildingsThe application can simplify planning, management and cost control
5Gan and Zhang (2013) Presentation of virtual construction technologies and their role in the industrialisation of housesVirtual house building technologies can contribute to cost optimisation
6Hussamadin et al. (2020) Using VR technology to improve communication and interpretation of work instructions during construction, reducing guesswork and improving collaboration between skilled workersVR technology can improve communication and interpretation of work instructions during construction, reducing time and costs
7Ibrahim et al. (2021) Review of IoT adoption in the Malaysian construction industry, also focusing on AR technologyThe correct adoption of IoT in the construction industry can improve efficiency and reduce risks, construction time and costs
8Issa and El-Hachem (2014) Present an integrated system for visualising construction activities in 3D using virtual realityVR technology makes it possible to model and visualise the design effect of any changes to the building configuration and calculate the effect on costs
9Li et al. (2004) Implementation of VR techniques to diagnose and reduce design errorsVR techniques can identify and reduce design errors in construction, also having an important impact on costs
10Martínez-Graña and Rodríguez (2016) Use of GIS, remote sensing and virtual visualisation for modelling the landscape impact of constructionRemote sensing and GIS techniques enable a 3D visualisation of urbanisation and related landscape restoration through virtual reality simulation. This approach offers a low-cost understanding of the landscape context prior to intervention
11Mokhtar et al. (2021) Developing an application for virtual home interior decorationThe application allows users to virtually explore and decorate home interiors, increasing their marketability
12Park et al. (2013) Propose a defect management system in construction that integrates ontologies and augmented reality with BIM and avoids cost overrunsThe proposed system enables proactive defect management during construction and avoids cost overruns
13Phommaly and Yu (2020) Applying Virtual Reality technology in home interior design to provide a more realistic and immersive representation of furniture proposalsVR technology can improve the home interior design experience, speed up design time and ensure optimal cost control
14Sikarwar and Shelake (2023) Examining the use of Augmented and Virtual Reality in reducing delays in construction projects in IndiaThe use of AR and VR can improve coordination in construction projects, reducing delays and costs
15Tang and Yang (2007) Integration of low-cost virtual reality into the architectural design processIntegrating VR into the architectural design process can improve work efficiency and cost control
16Wang et al. (2020) Evaluation of digital technologies (including AR and VR) used in off-site constructionDigital technologies, such as AR and VR, can improve efficiency and safety in off-site construction, saving time and costs
17Yamamura et al. (1996) Describing a kitchen layout design system supported by virtual realityThe VR system allows customers to virtually experience the layout of their kitchen, facilitating design decisions and enabling cost control
18Zhang et al. (2022) Developing a production information system for the construction industryProposal for a system to improve efficiency in the production of customised houses
