Abstract
![CDATA[The use of digital technologies plays a significant role in the success of construction projects especially with respect to construction safety. Comparatively recent developments have helped to digitise the industry, introducing new technologies which may involve processes, techniques, software and materials. These advances have brought benefits such as reduced costs, minimised waste production, improved design sustainability and increased levels of safety, efficiency, productivity alongside improved quality assurance. The most common barrier towards adoption of these technologies is a lack of knowledge and understanding of their effectiveness. Three case studies of industrial warehouses built in the greater Sydney area are examined for insights into the relationship between the adoption of digital technologies and project success. The study of project records from these case study projects indicates a consistent use of digital tools such as Build Soft™, Microsoft Project™ and Aconex™ throughout the design and construction phases. The results also suggest possible supporting evidence for a link between project risk and project duration being impacted by the relative adoption level of the digital tools.]]
