Análisis del impacto de las herramientas digitales en la planificación y control de proyectos de ingeniería civil en Colombia.

Abstract

This research examines how some digital tools are involved in the planning and control of engineering projects in Colombia, considering the national, regional, and local context. The study begins with an analysis of key concepts for project management. The digital transformation in construction is reflected in the use of practical and innovative software such as Microsoft Project and Primavera P6, which drive real-world performance indicators on site, such as time, cost, quality, and efficiency. In the Colombian context, public policies, current regulations, national strategies such as the adoption of BIM, as well as the technological reality of the private sector are examined. The research methodology used was to explore various academic sources using a qualitative approach and carefully examine some relevant cases using a phased management approach, which coordinates multiple areas in projects where these tools are applied, while also identifying new challenges associated with training, technological investment, and regulatory adaptation.
