| dc.description.abstract | The Sri Lankan construction industry, a
key driver of national development, is experiencing
significant transformation through the integration of
modern technologies. This study examines the impact
of modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence
(AI),
Building Information Modeling (BIM),
Augmented Reality (AR), robotics, and 3D printing on
the
quality and sustainability of construction
practices in Sri Lanka. Utilizing a mixed-methods
approach, including quantitative analysis via SPSS
and qualitative insights from content analysis, the
research explores the relationship between
technology adoption and sustainable outcomes. The
findings reveal a strong positive correlation between
the
use of these technologies and enhanced
sustainability in construction projects. However, the
study
also highlights substantial challenges,
including high implementation costs, a shortage of
skilled personnel, and inadequate policy frameworks.
To overcome these barriers, the research proposes
strategies that involve educational reforms and
government-led initiatives to promote broader
technology adoption. This study contributes to the
academic discussion on sustainable construction by
providing practical insights for industry stakeholders,
policymakers, and practitioners. It also emphasizes
the critical role of modern technologies in advancing
the sustainability and resilience of the construction
sector in Sri Lanka, underscoring the importance of a
strategic approach to integrating these tools into
existing practices for the industry's long-term growth
and competitiveness. | en_US |
