Abstract. This review explores the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the Philippine construction industry, focusing on the extent and scope of adoption, influencing factors, readiness, and associated benefits and challenges. Utilizing the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, Technology Readiness Index (TRI), and diffusion of innovation theory, the study synthesizes findings from 20 articles published between 2014 and 2024. Findings reveal a promising yet varied landscape of AI integration, driven by the need for improved cost management, enhanced decision-making, and higher quality standards. Successful AI adoption involves digital readiness, robust data management, and stakeholder engagement. Benefits include enhanced productivity, cost-efficiency, decision-making capabilities, sustainability, and safety. However, significant challenges such as data quality, technological complexity, ethical concerns, and the need for a skilled workforce remain. Overcoming these challenges through strategic planning and investment is crucial for the growth of AI adoption in the Philippine construction industry.
