Abstract: The fourth industrial revolution has transformed how data and information are shared and managed in the built environment. The adoption of various technologies (such as BIM, drone technologies, VR, Big Data, Machine learning etc.) for an effective data management in the built environment has therefore created many challenges for professionals to upgrade their practice. This study therefore explore the prospect and challenges of data management in the Nigerian built environment in the fourth industrial revolution. A qualitative technique (such as oral interview) with the review of relevant existing literature on the subject was adopted for this study. Several challenges outlined by professionals include the effect of cloud computing, big data, mobile devices, and financial and ethical concerns. Some possible solutions were discussed for an effective adoption of data management in the fourth industrial revolution. The study recommends that professionals need to upgrade their knowledge and competencies with the changes in the built environment through training, education opportunities and continuing development programmes.
