Abstract

Digitalisation has changed numerous economic sectors in the previous few Decades, including construction. By revolutionising how construction projects are planned, developed, built, and managed, digital technology has contributed to economic development. Construction companies must develop digital business transformation plans for client interaction in order to provide an outstanding customer experience, foster loyalty, and make it impossible for customers to choose other rivals. This study aims to investigate the tactics that may be used to guarantee the flawless integration of digitisation. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed to construction industry experts as part of the survey design for this study. Percentage, mean item score, standard deviation, and Kruskal-Wallis were used to examine the collected data. The analysis's findings showed that providing training and education, paying subsidies, investing in R&D, managing change, and following laws are crucial methods for the digitalisation of the construction sector for economic growth. According to the study's findings, digitalisation is continuing to change the face of the construction industry. Businesses can take use of these insights to develop tailored implementation strategies that enable easier transitions, better project outputs, and increased economic development.
