Purpose: The purpose of this article was to analyze influence of digital transformation on project management efficiency in construction projects in Rwanda.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Digital transformation has significantly enhanced project management efficiency in Rwanda's construction industry. Key findings indicate that the adoption of digital tools, such as project management software and Building Information Modeling (BIM), has improved communication, streamlined workflows, and optimized resource allocation. These technologies enable real-time monitoring, reduce delays, and improve decision-making. Additionally, the integration of mobile applications and cloud-based systems has facilitated better collaboration among teams and stakeholders.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM), diffusion of innovation theory (DOI) & contingency theory may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of digital transformation on project management efficiency in construction projects in Rwanda. In practice, the adoption of digital tools enables construction firms to share real-time data, track project milestones, and manage resources more effectively. From a policy perspective, governments and regulatory bodies can promote the adoption of digital tools by mandating their use in public infrastructure projects.
