DIGITALIZATION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. KEY TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) TECHNOLOGY. BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN BIM.

摘要

This article explores the digitalization of the construction industry with a focus on key trends in the development of BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) technology and the integration of Blockchain technology. It describes the main digital technologiestransforming construction processes, including BIM, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, AR/VR, 3D printing, big dataanalytics, cloud computing, and robotics. Particular attention is given to BIM as a fundamental tool for digital transformation inarchitecture, engineering, and construction, examining its evolution into multidimensional models (4D–8D), which incorporatedimensions of time, cost, sustainability, operation, and safety.The study identifies nine key trends in the development of BIM, including the integration of digital twins, artificialintelligence, AR/VR, cloud platforms, ERP systems, environmental sustainability, standardization, lifecycle management ofassets, and the emergence of new professional roles. Special attention is paid to Blockchain technology in BIM, which ensurestransparency, data immutability, process automation through smart contracts, improved logistics, and intellectual propertyprotection. The concept of CryptoBIM is discussed, allowing all actions with the BIM model to be recorded in encrypted form,creating a basis for advanced analytics and AI applications.The article also presents examples of BIM implementation worldwide and in Ukraine, particularly in infrastructure recoveryprojects after wartime destruction. It emphasizes the importance of developing educational programs to train BIM specialists.In conclusion, it highlights that successful BIM implementation requires not only technical solutions but also changes atorganizational, regulatory, and educational levels.
