Abstract
Globally, the construction industry has a tradition of late technology adoption. This has been a significant challenge in optimal performance and productivity. The fourth industrial revolution has changed many sectors in recent times through the adoption of various emerging technologies. The construction industry is also tagging along in technological adoption in a bid to be more productive and smart. However, little attention has been paid to the construction industry in developing countries. This study adopted a quantitative approach to articulating the key challenges to the implementation of the emerging technologies in the construction industry in developing countries. The study area adopted is Nigeria. Fifty-six structured questionnaires were administered to industry professionals through random sampling. The data collected was analysed. The study findings revealed that the most critical impediments are classified under workforce, management and legislation. The study concluded with recommendations for overcoming the identified challenges and achieving construction industry 4.0.
