Abstract

Due to growing challenges and stagnating productivity in the construction and related industries, it is becoming increasingly important to use digital technologies such as digital construction site documentation. This work addresses the challenges associated with introducing digital construction site documentation in these sectors. To answer the research question, both a structured literature review and four expert interviews were conducted. The interview partners have been working in leading positions in the digitization field within the construction and related industries for several years. The literature review explains fundamental terms and describes the formatting requirements for individual documents according to the ÖNORM B2110:2023-05 standard. Additionally, it defines digitization concepts and explores various options for mobile application development. Furthermore, the challenges associated with implementing digital construction site documentation are thoroughly described. The interview questions were derived from the literature review and were asked during the interviews. Subsequently, the results of the literature review were compared with the findings from the expert interviews. In the discussion, the results are consolidated, a guideline is created, and conclusions are drawn. The results of this study illustrate that in addition to extensive industry knowledge, comprehensive expertise in digitization and IT is also required to successfully implement new software. Often, the internal digital competence is insufficient to manage the introduction of a software solution without external consulting. Before starting the implementation, a digitization strategy must be established to help specify the application scenarios. The implementation should be project-based and involve both experts in internal processes and IT specialists. Additionally, internal processes must be described in detail beforehand to accurately capture the requirements for digital construction site documentation and its integration into the existing IT landscape. Furthermore, a guideline was developed to assist decision-makers in implementing a software solution for digital construction site documentation.
