The Role Of Digital Technologies And Modernization In Construction Project Management

Abstract

The construction industry is making steady progress, in particular when it moves away from traditional methods of managing construction projects in favor of modern digital technologies and modernizations. This development is happening rapidly, which opens up new opportunities in construction project management.

The aim of the study is to investigate the role of digital technologies and modernizations in the management of construction projects based on the results of the study and determine the importance of the digital CDE tool based on BIM and information modeling of construction projects in the implementation of management functions, which allows to formulate recommendations for optimizing the management of a construction project.

The research materials are: works of domestic authors who conduct their scientific and practical research on construction project management.

In the course of the study, the following scientific methods were used: theoretical generalization and grouping (to reveal the essence and benefits of CDE and management functions in the implementation of construction projects); formalization, analysis and synthesis (to build diagrams: CDE tools, the Talcott Parsons pyramid, the Talcott Parsons pyramid in the construction industry); logical generalization of results (formulation of conclusions).

This research paper investigates the characteristics and trends in information management using a digital CDE tool based on BIM. The author recommends the concept of “CDE” as a centralized platform where all participants in a construction project - from architects to contractors - can store, exchange, and update all necessary project data. Identification and systematization of the advantages of CDE (effective communication, reduction of errors, improved coordination, increased transparency) allowed us to recommend proposals for solving existing problems when using its tools (digital twin, OpenBIM, OpenCDE).

The author proves that technologies of information modeling of construction projects can be studied from the side of the process of implementation of management functions (planning, organization, motivation, coordination, control) through the use of T. Parsons' pyramid, which takes into account the peculiarities of the construction industry (administrative, managerial and technical levels).

The paper concludes that the role of digital technologies and modernization in construction project management is not only an opportunity to improve the performance of individual project participants, but also a chance for systemic change in the organization and the entire construction industry.
