Abstract
While the construction industry is striving to make changes suitable for the 4th industrial revolution era through the introduction of 4th industrial revolution technologies, such change is progressing more slowly than in other industries. Nevertheless, the recent digitization and digital transformation of the construction industry can provide a new paradigm to address and innovate the chronic problems faced by the construction industry. Therefore, in this study, a case study using a data hub and API for use of the data hub, which is essential for digitalization and digital transformation, was conducted, and the efficiency and feasibility of using the data hub and API were considered. When the API system was introduced, it was found that the average budget savings per person was about 23%, and the costbenefit ratio was about 4.4 times higher, indicating that the feasibility of the project was very high. The results and framework of this study can serve as fundamental research data for related research, and provide a worthy case study to promote the introduction of related technologies. This will ultimately contribute to digitalization and digital transformation for smartization of the construction industry.
