Justification of Construction 4.0 maturity model with a case study of a data-driven façade company

Abstract

The European Parliament released the 2030 Digital Compass, identifying the construction sector as one of the five key ecosystems in the digital transformation process. A Construction 4.0 maturity model (C4M) was created to lead companies through their digital transformation journey. This research aimed to justify the model categories of the developed C4M using a qualitative case study methodology. The case study highlighted the practical relevance of the model by identifying three areas within the C4M that were the main drivers of digital transformation: cloud-based systems, knowledge management and system integration to drive digitalisation further. It was revealed that the digital processes in the design, production, and construction phases are connected to each other through system integration
