Abstract
The application of digital technology in the field of construction is still in its infancy, and the existing concrete framework of digital technology application in the construction industry and the study of applied ecological elements are not enough. The ecological elements of digital technology application in the construction industry are important factors that promote the healthy operation of the entire digital technology application ecosystem. Using grounded theory, we compiled the data of 33 researchers who participated in semi-structured interviews, and obtained 4 main categories and 9 sub-categories of ecological elements of digital technology application in the construction industry. Among them, the digital technology application mechanism is the core category of ecological application elements. We also used the Bass model to analyze the application trend of digital technology in the construction industry. In 2040, the number of construction companies applying digital technology will reach 98.66% of the maximum market potential.
Highlights
The application of digital technology in the construction industry is still in the preliminary stage of development, but this technology is becoming a key area for the future development of the global construction industry [1]
We further analyzed the results of Axial coding and found that the digital technology application mechanism is the core category of the ecological elements of digital technology application in the construction industry
From the further analysis of the original data, it can be obtained that the core category of the construction industry technology ecological elements is the digital technology application mechanism, and the foundation of technology application, government strategies, management methods and market environment are all included in this core category
Summary
The application of digital technology in the construction industry is still in the preliminary stage of development, but this technology is becoming a key area for the future development of the global construction industry [1]. In the research on the digital technology application ecosystem of the construction industry, there is not enough data or information that can be used for reference, so this article uses qualitative analysis to study the digital ecosystem of the construction industry. These will greatly promote the construction industry to use digital technology to drive high-quality development, and provide a theoretical basis for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry
