Digital Technologies and Tools - Drivers of Digitalization in Construction

Summary/Abstract: Construction is a structural sector that creates the infrastructure for the functioning of other sectors, which is why its development is essential for the national economy. For this reason, the digitalization of construction is paramount. It is characterized by great complexity of production processes and typical conservatism, which is why it is known for its difficulties in the transition to digitalization. Digital technologies and tools are the engines of digitalization in construction. The paper explores the importance of some key technologies and tools for its digitization - first, the role of building information modeling, along with the application of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, mobile technologies, and cloud computing. Sensors and other tools and technologies belonging to the Internet of Things, as well as the use of drones, have great potential for revolutionizing the construction sector. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning help analyze large amounts of data in construction and help make timely, accurate and efficient decisions. The study highlights the importance of resources as basis for the digitalization of construction with focus on human resources.
