ABSTRACT
The use of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methods, tools and practices coupled with powerful business analytics can provide a solution to the construction industry’s long-standing performance measurement problems. The study opts for a pragmatic approach to investigate the perception of the VDC practitioners to use VDC framework as a performance measurement system for projects through an online survey. It further explores the hidden relationships in the perceptions of the VDC practitioners through the application of data analytic tools. Results indicate that the VDC framework has the potential to be practiced as a performance measurement system for the construction projects. The study is unique in the approach and is targeted at the VDC practitioners and academics aiming to digitalize the performance measurement in construction industry.
