Abstract
Digitization and new business models in the construction industry gain increasing relevance. Therefore, an empirical study was carried out in Germany, Austria and Switzerland based on a theoretical foundation. The target of this study is to examine to what extent digitization has already changed the construction industry, what will change in the future, and what are possible benefits of new digital business models. The structural equation model (SEM) approach identifies four key constructs (KPI, individualization, efficiency, communication) that could have an impact on the potentials of digital business models (PDBM) and their processes in the construction industry. Of those four hypotheses two (efficiency and communication) have a significant impact.
