Cloud computing is a fast-developing technology adopted by various organizations to allow their digital transformation. The present article reviews the use and research of cloud computing either in the construction industry, construction management, construction projects, or in construction technology. After a comprehensive search of the scientific literature some recent works are selected for review. This study identifies and analyzes the advantages and risk and its aim is to provide an overview of applications of Cloud Computing (CC) in the Construction Industry (CI). It explains the technical challenges faced in the area of digital technology. It comprises of websites and internet data (48%), journals (38%), conferences (7%), report/survey (3%), Blog (2%) and book (1%) and thesis (1%). It provides the capacity to impart data and information smoothly, operating quickly, effectively and is result oriented. Cloud connectivity is convenient and streamlining the workflow to help any business to become more workable, efficient, and productive. The companionship of Cloud Computing (CC) with other digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Technology (BIT), Big Data (BD) and others pertaining to the construction industry are dealt in-depth here with the futuristic role for them in the next decade. The paper covers benefits, drawbacks, use of software, and importance of construction management in higher education, and the future of cloud computing in the construction business.
