초록

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, the term "metaverse" has emerged at the forefront of discussions, yet its conceptualization remains nebulous, especially in specialized domains such as construction. The metaverse represents an interconnected digital realm where physical and virtual realities converge, enabling transformative experiences and collaborations. This study seeks to disambiguate the notion of the metaverse, particularly contextualizing it within the construction industry's paradigm. By juxtaposing the metaverse with existing technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital twins, this paper elucidates the unique technological components that would define a construction-centric metaverse. This paper highlights precepts and requirements for a construction domain metaverse. Potential applications of the metaverse within construction settings are explored, offering practitioners insights into avenues for research and development. This research aims to offer a guide for industry professionals, technologists, and researchers, providing clarity on harnessing the metaverse's capabilities effectively and setting the foundation for its meaningful integration in construction endeavors.
