Abstract: The present paper sorts out and summarizes the research status of intelligent construction by using bibliometrics research methods and visualization tools VOSviewer and CiteSpace through quantitative and qualitative analysis. Through selecting relevant literatures of the last 15 years in the Web of Science (WOS) database, the paper conducts time series analysis of publication volume, keyword co-occurrence analysis, author and country analysis, journal analysis, and further summarizes the research topics in the field of intelligent construction to figure out the research status, development trend and supporting technology. It is concluded that there is a significant increase in the number of published literatures on intelligent construction in which United States and China are the most active countries; the research topics can be divided into 9 sub-fields.; and the current research mainly focuses on BIM, digital twins, 3D printing, blockchain, Internet of Things, and Augmented Reality. Finally, based on the research findings, prospects for intelligent construction research are discussed.
