Evaluating the Digital Transformation of Construction Supervision in Building Projects Using PLS-SEM

Currently, a rapid digital revolution is occurring in the building industry due to the need to solve chronic challenges such as low productivity, inconsistent execution quality, and difficulty in controlling costs and schedules. Construction supervision is one area where digital transformation can have a significant impact, given the repetitive nature of its tasks, which rely heavily on human expertise and manual labor. The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive framework to evaluate the role of the digital transformation in the supervision of construction projects using the modeling of structural equations (PLS-SEM). The data obtained was examined and evaluated utilizing the PLS-SEM software technique to build the proposed model. The results show a positive correlation between the supervisor’s productivity and the utilization of digital technology, depending on the context of the task and the nature of the work. The study also proposes a methodology for the use of SEM in this area, comprising model construction steps and evaluation indicators, and it provides suggestions for researchers and practitioners to improve the effectiveness of using digital transformation in construction supervision.
