DIGITAL PLATFORMS FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION IN CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

This article examines the principles and advantages of using digital platforms for the management and coordination of construction projects. The relevance of the topic stems from the urgent need to reduce time losses and eliminate errors in project-related information exchange. It is shown that traditional communication approaches lead to considerable inefficiencies: according to estimates, up to 35% of working time is spent on data retrieval, conflict resolution, and rework, while nearly half of all rework cases are caused by data inconsistency [1]. The implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies and the use of a Common Data Environment (CDE) as a unified digital platform provide all project stakeholders with a single source of up-to-date information, thereby improving collaboration and reducing the risk of errors [2]. This study analyses international BIM standards (ISO 19650, PAS 1192, BS EN 17412, etc.), national regulatory documents under development in Uzbekistan (SHNK 1.05.01–1.05.13), and three widely used platforms: Autodesk BIM 360, Trimble Connect, and Allplan Bimplus. A comparative assessment of their functionalities and implementation in real-world projects is conducted. The findings are presented in the form of tables and diagrams that demonstrate the practical benefits of digital platforms, such as reduced time for construction supervision, fewer design clashes, and lower rework rates. The article concludes with recommendations for introducing BIM platforms in Uzbekistan, taking into account both international practices and the evolving local regulatory framework.
