 The Internet of Things, IoT, has become increasingly important in the construction industry due to its ability to provide significant efficiency gains. However, small construction projects often lack the necessary resources to implement IoT technologies. This study identified the key barriers to implementing IoT technologies in small construction projects in Malaysia. These included database and technology issues, as well as management challenges. The findings suggest that these barriers should be addressed through improved databases and technology, better project management, and more effective communication between stakeholders. Additionally, this study provides practical implications for future researchers and construction workers who can use the findings to improve the implementation of IoT technologies in small construction projects in Malaysia.
