| 7 | Ibrahim et al. (2021) | Review of IoT adoption in the Malaysian construction industry, also focusing on AR technology | The correct adoption of IoT in the construction industry can improve efficiency and reduce risks, construction time and costs |
| 8 | Issa and El-Hachem (2014) | Present an integrated system for visualising construction activities in 3D using virtual reality | VR technology makes it possible to model and visualise the design effect of any changes to the building configuration and calculate the effect on costs |
| 9 | Li et al. (2004) | Implementation of VR techniques to diagnose and reduce design errors | VR techniques can identify and reduce design errors in construction, also having an important impact on costs |
| 10 | Martínez-Graña and Rodríguez (2016) | Use of GIS, remote sensing and virtual visualisation for modelling the landscape impact of construction | Remote 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 |
