... The adoption of digitalisation in construction is slow, and this has been linked to the lack of studies that justify the need for digitalisation in construction [12,13]. Despite the demonstrated benefits offered by research, the adoption of digitalisation in construction is still far from achieving a satisfactory rate [14]. One of the key aspects argued to drive the adoption of such technological innovations, is the substantiated enhancement in productivity [15]. ...
