To gain insight in the adoption of new technologies for the AEC industry, several studies have performed future workshops and foresight studies to develop roadmaps ( Lee et al., 2007) and scenarios ( Harty et al., 2007 Lavikka et al., 2018). Furthermore, research has also recognized that the industry is perceived as lagging in technology adoption and implementation ( Chowdhury et al., 2019 Sepasgozar et al., 2016). Numerous digital technologies are currently being developed, and it becomes challenging for the AEC industry to select what kind of digital technology would be beneficial and what should be prioritized. Lavikka et al., 2018), two parameters that have been discussed at length both in academic literature and in industry. Many perceive the new digitalization trends as possibilities to improve performance and productivity within the AEC industry (cf. 2) others refer to innovations that support construction procurement, management and delivery of building projects ( Ibrahim, 2013). Digital technologies can be defined as advanced information and communication technologies and tools used in amplifying productivity across the construction life cycle ( Chowdhury et al., 2019, p. Recently, an increased focus has been on digital technologies and trends toward digitalization in the architecture, engineering and construction industries (AEC).
