The construction industry in its traditional form suffers from complexity and poor performance due to its fragmented and craft nature, however besides, with the continuing development of industry 4.0, it has become necessary for construction companies to adopt modern technologies and develop new management means to enhance the industry performance and meet the requirements of other industries and the increasing demand for residential and specialized buildings. This study aims to enhance communication in the construction industry by taking advantage of construction 4.0 to raise the construction industry’s performance. A statistical survey was conducted to study the effect of the following factors (C4.0 awareness and acceptance level, C4.0 fragmented nature, communication, information sharing, C4.0 technologies, and digital training) on enhancing communication. The survey included construction specialists, ranging from site engineers to project managers distributed among construction companies working in different types of projects such as infrastructure projects and residential buildings, and it included six countries (India, Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, and the UAE) The collected data were analyzed using multiple regression measures. The study emphasizes the importance of communication and data sharing as a key element in increasing coordination and creating a collaborative environment that leads to raising the quality of human resources, thus raising the construction industry’s performance; also, this study lays out a roadmap and recommendations for apply some important measures to the parameters mentioned above to enhance the communication.
