Abstract: 
The use of automation technology in the construction sector may cover a wide variety of operations, from the early design stage through on-site building construction, building maintenance, building control, and finally building disassembly or demolition. The extent of automation adoption varies greatly from one construction phase to the next. These days, as opposed to using automation for on-site operations, the use of automation in the construction sector has several important advantages, including increased worker safety at work, improved quality and cost-effectiveness above that of trained labor, and increased productivity and job efficiency. Research gaps need to be filled to address automated manufacturing process innovation. This study has been carried out most promising areas where automation is required with the help of scientific analysis through a questionnaire survey. This study identifies critical areas for improvement in automation in the work process in commercial construction projects. The respondents comprised site engineers, project managers, and supervisors of construction firms. The relative importance index is used in this study. Using the results of this study, categorized the primary variables for improvement like workers' safety alert procedures, reducing labor cost and construction delay, core test team under multiple projects, impropriate construction method, and better quality of life of the structure.
