Large Language Models (LLMs) for Intelligent Construction Engineering and Management: Applications, Decision Support, and Responsible Implementation

Journal: Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology
Publisher: Emerald Publishing
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 December 2026

The Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology invites submissions for its Special Issue on Large Language Models (LLMs) for Intelligent Construction Engineering and Management: Applications, Decision Support, and Responsible Implementation.

About the Special Issue

This Special Issue explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming construction engineering and management by converting fragmented project information into actionable knowledge. It focuses on the application of AI-driven decision support across project planning, safety, contracts, finance, Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital twins, and sustainability while addressing challenges related to explainability, privacy, governance, and responsible AI implementation.

The issue welcomes theoretical, empirical, methodological, review, case-based, and policy-oriented research that advances LLM-enabled intelligence in construction management. It aims to bridge construction engineering, artificial intelligence, informatics, sustainability, and digital transformation to support safer, more efficient, resilient, and sustainable built environments.

Topics of Interest

Submissions may include, but are not limited to:

  • LLMs for construction safety and health management

  • AI-assisted cost estimation, scheduling, and project performance control

  • Construction contracts, claims, and dispute resolution using LLMs

  • Construction finance, credit risk, and organizational resilience

  • BIM, digital twins, and lifecycle knowledge management

  • Sustainability, circular economy, and SDG implementation in construction

  • Knowledge graphs and project information retrieval

  • Human-AI decision support in construction management

  • Responsible AI, explainability, privacy, and governance in construction

  • AI-enabled digital transformation for the built environment
