| Summary: | This study investigates the phenomenon of Digital Transformation (DT) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry and the impact of the adoption of digital technology. It explores the viability of a holistic framework to guide the development, integration and implementation of DT strategies for products and services in the delivery of projects and assets in the AECO industry. The study adopts an abductive and qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. A review of 78 journal articles and four semi-structured interviews with AECO experts were carried out. The findings suggest that transitioning from siloed to systems-based thinking, shifting from push to pull service models, and moving from product-focused to integrated stakeholder-driven approaches would facilitate the strategic and effective utilisation of digital technologies in the AECO industry. The study presents a preliminary conceptual framework that advocates for a platform perspective in implementing DT strategies to integrate digitally-enabled deliverables in the provision of products and services. An original contribution of the study is in the improvement of understanding of factors that facilitate the successful implementation of DT initiatives in the AECO industry, paving the way for better utilisation of machine-readable and interpretable building information. |
