The Impact of Digital Technology Applications on Construction Industry Project Performance

Abstract

The role of digital technology in various fields has been proven to improve industrial production efficiency, improving management efficiency, and ensuring sustainable development. The digital transformation of the industry has become an inevitable trend. At present, the application of digital technology in the construction industry is still insufficient compared with other industries. The main factors affecting the implementation of digital technology in the construction industry is that project decision-makers do not fully realize the positive impact of digital technology on project performance. Project performance is crucial to convince decision-makers to adopt advanced technology. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the literature on the impact of digital technology applications on project performance in the past decade and lists the improvements in project performance brought about by the implementation of digital technology at different stages of construction projects. The results of this study help to better understand the current level of implementation of digital technology in the entire life cycle of construction projects and the significant improvement of project performance, highlighting the important role of digital technology application in improving project performance, which is of great significance for the promotion of digital technology in the construction industry and also provides a starting point for strengthening the research on the implementation of digital technology in the future.
