Abstract: Industrial Revolution (IR) has caused tremendous changes in technology which have greatly affected the construction industry and her products. With the current changes in technology, the mode of operation of construction industry has been changed. The efforts put in place in meeting the demand for the products of construction industry particularly building has revealed the extent at which the construction of building has adapted to technological changes brought about by industrial revolution. All the construction processes of building are no longer with stress, but at ease with the use of machines and other means of intelligent networking and the use of managerial policy in order to improve the quality of the building. This paper aims at assessing the evolution of industrial revolution, its impact on building production management and challenges confronting the evolution. The paper adopted literature review and finds that, though, introduction of industrial related technology in management of building production harnesses effective use of resources and improved the quality of building produced in terms of cost, time and workmanship, there are some challenges slowing down the full processes in building production. The paper concludes that all construction stakeholders should implement industrial revolution techniques, system and application so as to drive production system of the industry to match with the other industries by improving education and training so as to meet up with the demand of modern technologies.
