Daewoo Engineering & Construction has launched the Daewoo Smart Construction Alliance to enable real-time sharing of innovation across its companies
The launch of the Daewoo Smart Construction Alliance is part of an initiative to expand and advance the adoption of technologies such as AI, Building Information Modeling, offsite construction, drones and smart safety management in order to maximize productivity and efficiency, the Korea Herald reports.
The construction giant is already integrating AI into contract analysis and communication. Its proprietary BaroDAP AI system compares new project contracts with previous ones to improve risk management and review efficiency.
Daewoo E&C is also adopting Q-Box, a paperless platform developed under a national R&D project.
The system digitally integrates and manages all site-related documents — including drawings, budgets and schedules — and is currently deployed at five sites, with plans for further expansion.
Data-driven smart construction
Following the launch of the Smart Construction Alliance, Daewoo will focus on data-driven design and construction management using BIM, real-time safety monitoring through AI and the Internet of Things, as well as the wider use of OSC technology, to improve productivity.
The company plans to systematically manage its Smart Construction Corporation Index and respond flexibly to evolving domestic and global tech trends.
“The Daewoo Smart Construction Alliance will serve as a foundation for real technological innovation,” a company representative told the Korea Herald.
“Through continued R&D and collaboration, we aim to build a smart construction ecosystem and take a leading role in both domestic and global markets.”
This initiative is part of Daewoo E&C’s long-term digital transformation strategy, with smart construction positioned as a core growth engine to strengthen its global competitiveness and drive future innovation.
Founded in 1973, Daewoo E&C is engaged across several major fields of construction, including building, housing, oil and gas, power, nuclear, industrial, environmental, transportation and harbour and dam development.
