Abstract

The Nigerian construction industry is bedeviled with poor project performance and outcomes which internet of things (IoT) could address if applied. The application of IoT on Nigerian construction site is very minimal due to certain obstacles, namely, lack of adequate technology, inadequate cyber security, organizational policy and environmental factor, etc., which hinders the implementation in Nigerian’s construction industry. Therefore, this study aim at examines the impacts of internet of things (IoT) from the perspective of Nigerian construction professionals. Using a questionnaire survey that was duly validated by experts. Data was collected form 150 construction professionals involving Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Builders and Civil Engineers, Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was used to determine the internal consistency of the questionnaire items at 0.84. Data collected were analyzed through Confirmatory factor Analysis (CFA) using Statistics Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Analysis Moment of statistics (AMOS). After a preliminary analysis (descriptive), data from respondents were found to be appropriate for inclusion in Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA was achieved and the outcomes of the analysis support the one-factor model of the internet of things having significance impacts on the performance of professionals in built environment. The findings show that the professionals generally agree that internet of things (IoT) factors can bring about better-quality building projects and, increase construction project performance. This paper derives its significance from the need to increase construction project performance and effective building production management.
