Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Construction engineering often faces significant challenges related to multi-source data management, resulting from the diverse range of construction objects and processes involved. To improve management efficiency, various intelligent management tools, including building information modeling (BIM), construction process simulation, database construction and algorithm development have been implemented. Nevertheless, in practical engineering projects, intelligent management approaches still need to address several persistent issues, such as data fragmentation, model–practice discrepancy, complex management structure, inefficient communication, and suboptimal collaboration. Exploring and devising solutions to these problems is essential for bridging the gap between academic research and practical implementations of intelligent management approaches, ultimately contributing to their promotion. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to explore the contemporary challenges and advancements in intelligent management approaches within the field of construction engineering.
