Despite notable technological progress, the construction industry has slowly embraced information and communication technologies (ICT). Cloud computing, a tool potentially enhancing information management productivity, operates through remote servers linked via the Internet. This allows for data storage and application accessibility from any device without requiring prior installation. This research addresses this technological gap by exploring how quantity surveying firms perceive the integration of cloud computing. The study aims to evaluate these firms' inclination to adopt cloud computing and identify the obstacles impeding its implementation. A quantitative approach and questionnaires were adopted to uncover quantity surveying firm's readiness for technological advancement. This study provides valuable insights into how these firms can reshape their operational and communicative practices in the context of IR 4.0, preparing them for the essential technological shifts that will shape future industry standards.
