The main challenge for organizations to meet client requirements is finding ways to enhance computer-based project performance and make management knowledge more efficient. The solution is to apply key emerging technologies that have recently entered the market, including artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing (3DP), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), building information modeling (BIM), drones, and mobile technology (VP). The study used a well-structured questionnaire to collect data from the four randomly chosen construction companies, from which a sample size of 100 was acquired. This study used a descriptive survey research design. The study employed simple percentages, mean, standard deviation, Rank, and tables for a better interpretation. At the same time, the multiple rationalization analysis was used to determine the link between the study's variables and derive conclusions and suggestions from them. Findings reveal that the 7 identified ETs significantly influenced computer-based project management, having ascertained that the participants possess sufficient knowledge regarding emerging technologies and their impact on computer-based project management. Therefore, the study recommended adopting and implementing emerging technologies for managing computer-based projects, speedy automation, swift project delivery, and customer satisfaction
