Abstract

Modern construction projects are increasingly characterised by networked machines, IIoT sensor technology, drones, AI-supported construction progress monitoring, digital documentation, andcloud-based work processes. Without stable, secure and easily administered communication networks, these technologies lose their effectiveness and thus their enormous potential for increasing efficiency, improving quality and enabling AI-based processes in the construction industry.This expert recommendation offers comprehensive assistance for the secure and reliable use of ICT infrastructures on construction sites. It is aimed at various domains in the construction industry, including clients (builders, project managers), planners (construction companies, site planners, designers and logisticians), contractors (construction companies), and technology providers (IT experts, network operators and technology providers). © VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure e.V.).
