Technologies, tools, and resources - driving forces in construction sector digitalization

The construction sector is characterized by a high degree of complexity of production processes and greater conservatism, which determines the difficulties in the digitalization transformation. Information technologies and tools are the main driving forces of its digitalization. The paper highlights the role of building information modeling as a leading technology in construction, along with the application of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and mobile technologies. 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 a driving force for the digitalization of construction with a special emphasis on the field of human resources.
