summary:In recent years, the construction industry has witnessed a surge in the adoption and application of emerging technologies. Substantial evidence indicates the impact of these technologies on the lifecycle of construction projects. Among the notable categories of technologies embraced in construction, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) stand out. This category encompasses BIM models, reality capture, cloud computing, robotics, and more. However, a literature investigation that specifically focuses on the significant influence of these technologies on construction sites is lacking. To address this gap, this study conducted a systematic literature review, supported by a bibliometric analysis of published articles in the field of construction management. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, data was sourced from Scopus and Web of Science, covering the period from 2009 to 2023. The findings shed light on nine prominent ICT tools widely adopted on construction sites for project execution, with contributions from 113 countries emphasizing their profound impacts. Despite these positive aspects, this study also identifies notable challenges and provides recommendations for mitigating them. A smart site data integration framework was developed to facilitate the seamless integration of these technologies while ensuring data security. This study provides fundamental insights for future research in this field aimed at informing the construction industry about the importance of embracing cutting-edge technologies for enhanced efficiency on construction jobsites and for timely project delivery.
