Abstract

The contracting business is high-risk, requiring high management intensity and producing a low reward. As a result, the risk of financial and reputational reverses is high. This is one motivation for creating Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to enable better company management by applying information technology. This chapter proposes a construction project management methodology leveraging the digital twin (DT) approach to the current ERP systems’ compensation. Based on a systematic review and functional analysis of the available ERP system for a precast concrete factory, unautomated operational activities are highlighted with proposed software architecture to embed best practices. This will enable a valuable change as more technology and systems-oriented assist professionals to construct work. The digital transformation effect is one of many that should emerge with other technology-construction practices implemented into stakeholder software as they jointly collect information, plan, communication, execute, and adjust the next action on each project constructed.
