Abstract Globally, the construction industry is experiencing a significant increase in new technologies due to transitioning from traditional methods to digital technologies. The construction industry is utilizing advanced digital technologies to reduce operational inefficiencies. Soaring demand for homes is exposing the limitations of traditional construction methods. The study aims to analyze research trends in smart technology integration in the construction industry through bibliometric analysis. The Scopus database results were extracted with VOS Viewer. The study examined 19,225 papers on “Smart Construction,” narrowing it down to 588 suitable for review based on criteria such as subject area, publication type, etc. The United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong produced the most impactful research. The countries with the most smart construction publications are the Russian Federation, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The most cited publications were review-based and focused on blockchain, sustainable infrastructure, digital construction, etc. The work explicitly highlights the overview of the technologies being used in smart construction practices. This study aids researchers and built environment professionals in comprehending the integration of smart technology in the construction sector by offering baseline data for future research. The study suggests the need for case study-based research to understand better the practical application of smart technology in the construction sectors, thereby enabling further trend analysis. This study’s findings can help enhance efficiency and sustainability in future construction research and development. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
