Abstract
The construction industry is being profoundly reshaped by the trends of industrialization and digitalization, which, when integrated, offer greater advantages than when applied in isolation. Despite an expanding body of research, a knowledge gap persists regarding the current state and future trajectory of this integration. This study utilizes both quantitative and qualitative review methods to elucidate recent advancements in digital technologies within industrialized construction projects. An analysis of 173 scholarly articles indicates that digital technologies primarily enhance efficiency, flexibility, visualization, and intelligence. The adoption of these technologies varies across different project stages, with a notable trend towards their convergence. However, the operation stage receives significantly less attention compared to the design, production, and construction stages. This study not only identifies specific research gaps for each project stage but also provides recommendations for future research, thereby paving the way for further advancements in the field.
