Indonesia's construction industry is experiencing rapid growth, and the adoption of digital tools and

technologies is crucial to enhance project management efficiency. Digital transformation in construction

project management in Indonesia can significantly streamline communication, improve collaboration,
and enhance the overall quality of construction projects. By leveraging digital solutions such as Building
Information Modeling (BIM), project management software, and data analytics, construction projects
can be managed more effectively, reducing the likelihood of delays and cost overruns that are common
challenges in the industry.

The use of digital technologies in construction project management in Indonesia can also improve
transparency and accountability. Digital platforms can provide real-time updates on project progress,
enabling stakeholders to track and monitor project developments more easily. This transparency can
help reduce disputes and improve overall project outcomes. Furthermore, digital technologies can
facilitate more effective communication among project teams, including contractors, architects,
engineers, and clients, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and informed throughout the project
lifecycle.

In Indonesia, the construction industry is characterized by a high risk of project delays and cost overruns.
Digital transformation can help mitigate these risks by enabling more accurate project planning,
scheduling, and budgeting. Digital solutions can analyze project data to identify potential issues early on,
allowing for proactive measures to be taken to prevent delays and cost overruns. Additionally, digital
technologies can facilitate more efficient resource allocation and utilization, reducing waste and
improving overall project efficiency.

The Indonesian government has recognized the importance of digital transformation in the construction
industry and has initiated initiatives to support the adoption of digital technologies. For instance, the
Ministry of Public Works and Housing has developed a platform that uses GIS technology and BIM to
monitor and manage construction projects. This platform has successfully monitored more than 70
projects, including roads, dams, and buildings, as well as the construction of the Archipelago's New
Capital City (IKN) in East Kalimantan. The platform has improved workflow across departments and
enabled collaboration among stakeholders, contributing to the success of these projects.
