Asset-Centric Knowledge Sharing for Permitting and Compliance with Digital Technologies

Abstract: Digital transformation in construction asset management is advancing through BIM and emerging tools (e.g. digital twins, blockchain, and artificial intelligence), yet knowledge sharing on permitting and compliance remains fragmented. A survey of 110 professionals and 30 qualitative responses was analysed using descriptive statistics, chi‑square tests, ordinal logistic regression, and reflexive thematic analysis, then synthesised through concept mapping. Email, repositories, and collaboration platforms dominate (each at 70%), whereas 54% rarely share externally. BIM (93%) and AI (79%) exhibit the highest adoption rates. The study delivers a refined hierarchical conceptual map to support more integrated digital permit certification and compliance checking.
