Abstract

This study aims to facilitate the integration of digital technology into construction supervision by leveraging construction supervision checklists, a fundamental tool for inspections in this field. To achieve this, this research analyzed the tools and practices used in construction supervision, identifying 12 key supervision task types. These task types formed the basis for developing four distinct digital technologies, each tailored to specific inspection tasks based on practical feasibility. A checklist development process followed with the use of predefined criteria. Checklist items from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of South Korea were analyzed and categorized according to the identified inspection task types. Digital technologies were then integrated for each task type, with corresponding supervision locations documented. This process enhanced the checklist's effectiveness by incorporating methods for digitizing tasks. The findings suggested that approximately 61% of traditional tasks could be potentially replaced by digital technology, highlighting the potential for successful digitization implementation. In addition, surveys among industry professionals provided insights into the level of productivity enhancement achievable through technology adoption compared to traditional practices, offering a basis for predicting productivity improvements across various disciplines. In conclusion, this research supports the effective integration of digital technology into construction supervision through an enhanced checklist. It also sheds light on practitioners' perceptions of technology usage and aids in developing strategies for technology adoption in this domain.
