Readiness of construction organization towards Industrial revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) is important to help the country achieve progress in the use of latest technology. However, lack of knowledge and readiness of the organization can make an organization to be left behind and will be left out of the arena that has highly competitive rivals. Therefore, this research is aims to identify the readiness of construction organizations for the IR 4.0 in Malaysia and identify the challenges of construction organizations in heading towards the IR 4.0. This research was conducted using a survey design. Research data were analyzed descriptively on a sample representing the entire study population. The sampling technique chosen in this study is a simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used as a major instrument to collect the data. This study involved a total of 51 workers from construction organization comprising government agencies, developers, consultants, surveyors and contractors from few states in Malaysia. All data from the questionnaire were analyzed to obtain frequency, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviations. The findings of this research found that readiness of construction organizations for the IR 4.0 was excellent. More than half of the workers understand and well aware about IR 4.0. Nonetheless, it is found that the main challenge of construction organizations is the difficulty of using the latest technology, besides the high cost of the equipment and software. Therefore, this study is expected to provide useful input to construction organizations and in turn can increase the readiness and overcome the challenges faced by organizations to realization of IR 4.0 in Malaysia.
