Analysis of Development Trends and Associations in Intelligent Construction of Chinese Corporations

Intelligent construction, as a crucial driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry, is currently reshaping the production processes and management models throughout the entire life cycle of buildings. Nevertheless, construction enterprises are confronted with issues, such as great difficulties in system integration, complexity in multi-field collaboration, mismatch of technological requirements, and disharmony between standards and management processes during the process of promoting intelligent construction, which have restricted its in-depth application. This paper adopts a combination of questionnaire surveys and text mining methods to accurately gain insights into the actual situation of the application of intelligent construction in Chinese corporations. Cite Space is utilized to conduct keyword co-occurrence and clustering analyses and to construct the correlation atlas of the intelligent construction system, which are used to conduct in-depth analyses of its development trends and internal correlations. The research results demonstrate that aspects, such as building information modeling (BIM), smart construction sites, intelligent equipment, and prefabricated construction, exhibit significant development trends in the field of intelligent construction. Moreover, the precise matching between technology and the business needs of enterprises is of vital importance for the efficient implementation of intelligent construction. This research provides clear technological and management paths for intelligent construction in Chinese corporations, aiming to promote the standardization process of intelligent construction for enterprises and the industry and to facilitate the digital transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.
