Abstract

With digital transformation underway in various Chinese construction enterprises, each enterprise has progressed differently, and a clear direction for future digital transformation and upgrading is lacking. As such, the importance of measuring the level of digitization among Chinese construction enterprises is increasing. This paper presents a model for evaluating digital transformation maturity within construction enterprises. The model considers six aspects: digital strategy, digital business applications, digital technology capabilities, and so on. The digital maturity of enterprises is determined using the Analysis of Hierarchy (AHP)-Decision Making Experiment and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Technical abbreviations are explained when first used. This study demonstrates that digital business applications are the most significant primary indicator, with a weight of 29.53%. The success of digital transformation in the construction industry is strongly influenced by the interconnection between digital technology and construction sites, as well as other factors such as new technical personnel, digital infrastructure, digital innovation, and innovation iteration ability. It is crucial to understand how digital technology and the construction industry can effectively connect in order to achieve success in this realm. This paper aims to enhance the digital transformation capabilities and efficiency of construction companies and boost their core competitiveness through targeted measures.

基于层次分析法和决策试评实验室法构建建筑企业数字化转型成熟度评价模型

目前，中国各建筑企业正在进行数字化转型，但各企业的进展各不相同，缺乏明确的未来数字化转型和升级方向。因此，衡量中国建筑企业数字化水平的重要性日益凸显。本文提出了一个评估建筑企业数字化转型成熟度的模型。该模型考虑了六个方面：数字化战略、数字化业务应用、数字化技术能力等。采用层次分析法（AHP）-决策实验与评估实验室法（DEMATEL）确定企业的数字化成熟度。在首次使用技术缩写时，将对其进行解释。本研究表明，数字化业务应用是最重要的一级指标，权重为 29.53%。数字技术与施工现场之间的相互联系，以及新技术人员、数字基础设施、数字创新和创新迭代能力等其他因素，都对建筑行业数字化转型的成功与否产生了强烈影响。要想在这一领域取得成功，了解数字技术与建筑行业如何有效连接至关重要。本文旨在通过有针对性的措施，提高建筑企业的数字化转型能力和效率，提升其核心竞争力。
