Abstract—The ability to process large amounts of data and to extract useful insights from data has revolutionized society. Even in the construction industry, there are many researcher efforts developing this industry with Big Data Technology. Despite the accrual opportunities and benefits accruable from Big Data in this industry, some challenging issues remain of concern. This paper will discuss the overview of hindrance factors that affect the Thai government in implementing Big Data technologies across various domain applications of the construction industry. This research employed the qualitative research approach to find hindrance factors of applying Big Data Technology in construction management in the Thai government. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 7 government departments in Thailand working with Big Data Technology. The typology analysis was used for analysis data. The findings show that the government has been creating a new policy effort to apply Big Data technology, but they should be improving the infrastructure for supporting Big Data technology to address the many issues in implementation.
