In recent years, the construction industry has been recommended to expand the use digital technologies to leverage the transformational effects in housing construction.
This research paper offers invaluable insights that looked at the transformational effects of using digital technologies in the housing development across the UK. The study quantitatively received 77 number of responses from the selected top 150 housing property developers through a convenient approach.
The research paper demonstrated that, there are diverse advantages to the adoption of the digital technologies in the housing property developers which has the capability to increase productivity, cost efficiency, project quality, risk management, time efficiency, contract management, and procurement, supply and materials management.
The document revealed that, despite the vast majority of research papers indicating a high level of Digital Technologies adoption in construction, another report conducted by the McKinsey & Company (2016), acknowledges a different view in terms of comparing the adoption of digital technologies between the construction industry and many other industries.
The findings of this research paper buttress the report by the McKinsey & Company. The findings showed that the average adoption level over the 77 total number of the respondents from varying companies across the UK was 50.05%. Although the adoption level is 0.05 above the average of 50% among the housing developers, the adoption level is sluggish.
Nonetheless, the findings also indicated that, there were contributing factors to the sluggish adoption of the DTs. Some of the major reasons are the initial cost of investment in the purchase or hiring of the DT devices, software, or tools. This is followed by the lack of standardisation or interoperability and the uncertainty in Return on Investment (ROI).
The report offers a collection of approaches to enhance the use digital technologies in the UK. This is anticipated that would help to bring about an increase in the use of digital technologies to leverage its benefits in the UK housing property developers.

Throughout the industrial sector, off-site construction seems to have been sluggish, amidst a very well-rehearsed advantage of construction innovations. This document offers valuable insights that looked at property developers' approaches and procedures concerning the utilization of offsite construction (offsite-MMC). A study of randomly selected 60 companies out of the top 150 property developers throughout the United Kingdom and a set of questionnaires and interviews have been used to expose the degree to which offsite construction affects construction productivity.
The observations reveal that the existing utilization of offsite-MMC in major property developers is small and that the frequency is essential to rise, considering the constraints to increasing productivity, time, cost, and health and wellbeing. The study also found that the adoption of MMC technology increases productivity and efficiency in construction projects. Nonetheless, offsite-MMC's broader usage is hindered by initial capital cost, poor system interoperability, lack of manufacturing capacity, lack of economies of scale, inflexibility to design changes, and inorganized industry structure. The report offers a collection of approaches to enhance the use offsite-MMC in the UK. This is anticipated that would help to bring about an increase in productivity in the United Kingdom's construction sector.
