Transformation of the Construction Quality Control System in the Era of Digitalization

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of contemporary approaches and digital technologies applied in the construction industry to enhance the level of quality control at all stages of construction project implementation. The relevance of the study is driven by the increasing complexity of construction projects, heightened requirements for their safety, reliability, and durability, as well as the need to minimize risks and costs. The main objective of the research is to assess the effectiveness of innovative quality control methods and to determine their impact on the optimization of construction processes and managerial decision-making. The study is based on a systematic analysis of recent scientific publications, regulatory documents, and analytical reports, as well as a generalization of practical experience in the implementation of advanced technological solutions in both domestic and international construction practice.

Special attention is paid to three key technologies: remote sensing, three-dimensional laser scanning, and artificial intelligence technologies. For each of these technologies, the main advantages, functional capabilities, and existing limitations, including technical, economic, and organizational aspects, are identified. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of traditional and digital quality control methods, statistical data on their level of implementation, and examples of the practical application of innovative solutions in real construction projects of various scales and purposes.

The obtained results indicate that the use of digital quality control tools creates new opportunities for improving monitoring accuracy, enabling early defect detection, reducing risks, and enhancing the management of construction processes. At the same time, the successful implementation of such technologies requires a systematic approach, including the development of a clear digitalization strategy, the training of qualified personnel, and the adaptation of existing production procedures. The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among clients, engineers, construction professionals, and information technology specialists is emphasized as a key factor in the effective development of innovative quality control systems, contributing to the creation of safe, reliable, and high-performance construction facilities.
