The terminology such as digital built environment and smart asset management, often referred to as Digital Construction, encompasses multiple technologies and processes related to information or project management and the management of related actionable events that trigger various outcomes.

It can be said that the digitalization of construction began with designers moving from drawing boards to computers. In Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (ACEO), the focus has shifted with the industry now embedding Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Management and digital technologies.
