4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is the revolution of convergence in cyber and physical realms in the form of data and analytics from the industrial internet of things (IoT), automation, mobility and the cloud. This affects all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, including construction and project management. With construction project complexity, 4IR increases productivity and flexibility in the process of construction and project management practices. This talk thus aims at appraising construction and project management practices worldwide towards the 4IR, where continuous construction industry performance improvement could be made efficiently and effectively by investigating the 4IR impact to the society as a whole. This talk is expected to shed lights on the current scenarios, challenges and ways forward of construction and project management practices in 4IR despite the fact that automation is seen as the anticipated disruption to the construction and project management organisation and industry.
