The Role of Digital Transformation in The Strategic Management System of Construction Production
Irina Vysochanskaya , Business Consultant, Construction Business, UkraineAbstract
The article examines the role of digital transformation in the strategic management system of construction production based on an analysis of contemporary empirical and theoretical research in the fields of construction management, building information modeling, digital twins, and logistical production systems. The study integrates data concerning the technological, organizational, and analytical factors of construction process controllability, emphasizing the multi-level and mediated nature of digital solutions' impact on the stability and predictability of production parameters. It is shown that digital technologies do not act as independent determinants of management efficiency but exert their influence through mechanisms of data integration, synchronization of project life cycle stages, and the formation of centralized analytical frameworks. Particular attention is given to the role of BIM environments, ERP systems, BI dashboards, and cloud platforms as key transformation mediators that ensure information comparability and the reproducibility of managerial procedures. The analysis demonstrates that full-cycle data processing mediates the connection between digital tools and the stability of schedule-network models, the allocation of resource flows, and the speed of managerial responses, whereas fragmented digitalization creates a "digital illusion" effect and increases the likelihood of uncoordinated changes. The informational density of the production environment can serve both as a factor in enhancing process transparency and as a source of managerial risks in the absence of centralized analytics and cross-platform compatibility. This article can be useful for researchers and practitioners in the fields of strategic construction management, the digital transformation of production systems, and the integration of information technologies into organizational management frameworks.
