Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The vision of Industry 5.0, where industry achieves societal goals beyond jobs and growth to become a resilient provider of prosperity, is, at present, translated into a vision for Construction 5.0. The goal should be achieved by respecting the boundaries of our planet and placing the well-being of humans in focus. This will widen the vision of Construction 4.0, but still focus on a transition facilitated by advanced digital technologies. Building information modeling (BIM) is a mature area that has helped provide conceptual information models for the built environment. Today, it is vital to also incorporate new technologies, e.g., the Internet of Things (IoT), product data templates, digital twins (DTs), and advanced AI techniques (such as graph neural networks (GNNs) and machine learning (ML)). This development has, in turn, increased the need for more advanced frameworks and reference models that show how advanced digital technologies can be combined.
This Special Issue aims to cover the latest research findings and ideas on the topic of digital and intelligent approaches for Construction 4.0 and that can help us move toward Construction 5.0. The Special Issue covers original research and review studies on topics including, but not limited to:
- Conceptual frameworks for Construction 4.0/5.0;
- Reference models for Construction 4.0/5.0;
- Reference architecture for Construction 4.0/5.0;
- Knowledge graph and semantic web applications for Construction 4.0/5.0;
- Internet of Things (IoT);
- Product data templates (PDT, EPD, DPP, etc.);
- Digital twins (DTs);
- Artificial intelligence-enhanced digital twins toward Construction 5.0;
- Cognitive digital twins for building lifecycle management;
- Human–computer interaction for Construction 5.0.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
