Digital Construction and its Role in Driving the Circular Economy

Digital technologies can be used at any stage of the life cycle of a construction project, from the concept of the facility to the final of its operation. Construction companies use more and more available technological solutions, increasing mobility and safety at the construction site and facilitating the construction process. Digitization is increasingly affecting the modernization of the building management and operation process, saving time, making decision-making easier, causing saving financial resources and reducing the costs of energy and materials consumption. Not only investment of construction entrepreneurs in internal start-ups has been observed, but also the reverse phenomenon, involving the interest of technology companies in the construction investment market. The closed-circle economy allows economic growth while reducing and optimizing resource consumption -it deeply transforms patterns of production and consumption chains and designs business models anew. The aim of the article is to present the results of the literature review, from the angle of discussion of issues related to the digital technologies used in various stages of the life cycle of construction projects with the assumptions of a closed-cycle economy. three successive steps were carried out: (1) a search strategy was developed to systematically review the literature and collect a representative set of publications on the relation of circular economy to building and digital technologies applicable to the life cycle of a building facility using Google Scholar;
