Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is an absolute pleasure to invite your participation to the Section titled “Construction Management, and Computers & Digitization”, as this will generate categorically significant conclusions on the feasibility, comparisons, and actualities of construction management practices executed all around the world. With the contemporary tools of visualization in construction management, the specific areas related to energy efficiency, indoor comfort, scheduling, and project management will be more precise than in the past. However, the regional trends and concepts of construction practices do bring along their own benefits and repercussions. I look forward to a thoughtful array of publications towards the need and assessment of optimum construction practices through the use of digitization to meet the growing demand of professionalism in the construction industry in order to achieve subsequent quality in the built environment. In the due valuable discourse of discussing construction management, the local and historic trends of construction and architectural design are integral to take into context so that the successful integration of both active and passive strategies is efficiently achieved during construction.
