Introduction

Connected autonomous plant or CAP is the result of a number of different technologies coming together and being available jointly for use on buildings sites and in construction. Such technologies as the internet of things (IOT), Autonomous Vehicles (AV), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), 5G communications, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN), Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or Drone Technology and other items.

In combination these provide the potential to impact positively on the constructon of buuildings in a number of ways:

* Round-the-clock working
* Reducing project length
* Reduced indidents on site
* Reduced public disruption
* Productivity improvement thisf inancial savings

Known barriers to the uptake of the technogly and known as:

Legislation and regulation

* Permits and permissions
* Standardisaton of equipment
* Education and Training around benefits an savings
* Capital investment for adoption
* The need for contractual incentives
* Plant wide connectivity
* Physical collaboration needs
