| Abstract | The research paper focuses on how Information Technology (IT) is being adopted in the design phase and integrated into a well-known Nepalese AEC industry. In the Nepalese construction sector context, the study aims to provide an in-depth investigation of the possibilities, challenges, and implications associated with IT adoption during the design phase through an in-depth case study approach. The research examines the present state of IT adoption in the design phase within the chosen construction company by using a qualitative case study approach. The data collection will be done through various interviews, observations, and document analyses from a leading design and construction firm in Nepal. The various types of technologies used, the factors affecting adoption choices, the challenges faced, and the advantages of IT integration that are considered to have been realized are some of the important areas that are being studied. The research findings provide insightful information about the IT adoption practices and experiences of a top design and construction company in Nepal, expanding our understanding of the factors influencing technology use in the industry. Furthermore, the study offers useful suggestions to foster innovation, strengthen IT integration procedures, and enhance project results in Nepali construction firms and similar industries. By integrating real-world data and theoretical frameworks, this research aims to inform stakeholders, policymakers, and industry practitioners about how information technology (IT) might enhance productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness in construction firms—thus contributing to the overall growth of Nepal's AEC sector. |
