INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS - APPLICATION, ADVANTAGES AND RISKS

Abstract

The application of information and communication technologies and software solutions, as well as the assessment of their contribution to the success of construction projects, is based on the fact that managing a construction project is a complex task, involving many interdependent activities and a large amount of human and material resources required for the realization of such projects. The development and adoption of automation in construction have evolved more slowly compared to other sectors, but now the time is ripe for automated construction technologies to play a major role in driving construction’s digital transformation. Integrating digitization, database management, and modeling creates the potential to overcome numerous limitations in the execution of construction projects . In this paper, we focus on the advantages of process automation in reducing risks, as just one of the components of project success, with the intention of highlighting the importance of applying automated technologies in construction project management. We hope that this paper will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the issues in this field and open new questions and topics for future research.
