Abstract

Construction Sector is an important sector for the development of any country in the world. However, at present the conventional ways followed in the construction sector is slow and has certain limitations. In this paper, the author has given importance to the digitalization of the construction sector and the concept of digitalization is briefly explained by the author. Plus, the need for digitalization of the construction sector and fruitful outcomes through it, are also mentioned in the paper. The author has also plotted graphs based on the survey conducted by him, in order to support the study. Some major challenges and limitations which might be faced by the people during the process, are also discussed in the paper.
