About

Fredrick Simpeh is a prominent construction management researcher whose work sits at the intersection of technology adoption, health and safety management, and innovation in the built environment. His research focuses primarily on how emerging digital technologies can transform construction site safety practices, with particular attention to tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), virtual reality (VR), wearable technologies, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Simpeh's most influential contribution, a 2020 bibliometric review of construction safety management technologies, has garnered an impressive 197 citations, establishing him as a key synthesizer of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. By systematically mapping the landscape of safety technologies, he provided researchers and practitioners with a foundational reference for understanding where the discipline stands and where it is heading. His more recent work extends this interest into developing contexts, examining awareness and adoption of wearable technologies within the Nigerian construction industry — a critical contribution that highlights the gap between technological availability and real-world implementation in emerging economies. Through this body of work, Simpeh is helping shape safer, smarter construction environments globally, making his research essential reading for students and professionals alike.
