Integrating Construction 4.0 Technologies to Strengthen Post-disaster Construction Supply Chain

Natural or artificial disasters, such as earthquakes, pandemics, conflicts, and hurricanes, often lead to the displacement of people, damage to critical infrastructure, and disruption of the supply chain.Rapid and resilient post-disaster reconstruction is thus essential for communities to recover faster.This paper proposes a framework for integrating emerging technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Reality Capture, AI, Computer Vision, GPS/GIS, Construction 3D Printing (C3DP), and Modular Construction (MC), with Lean Construction (LC) principles to streamline and strengthen the post-disaster reconstruction supply chain.This paper identifies the common challenges in post-disaster reconstruction through a literature review, investigates technology-driven solutions, and proposes strategies to strengthen the reconstruction supply chain regarding speed and resilience.The integrated framework addresses four specific reconstruction phases, from rapid damage assessment and data management to planning, design, and on-site implementation.Our findings emphasize the importance of cross-sector collaboration, specialized training, and strategic investment in these technologies to improve disaster response, recovery, and long-term community resilience.Additionally, this paper provides recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders, highlighting how advanced technologies could reduce timelines, lower costs, and ensure a more sustainable and adaptive rebuilding process in the face of future disruptions.
