More Information, More Risk? The Hidden Downside of Smart Construction
Smart construction is accelerating. IoT sensors monitor job sites in real time, BIM models every component in 3D, and big data coordinates entire supply chains. But as ICT-based information sharing becomes more sophisticated, does it actually reduce risk — or does it create new pathways for risk to spread?
This study analyzes the risk structure of an ICT-based information sharing network in a prefabricated building supply chain using Social Network Analysis (SNA). (Zhu & Li, 2025)
