ABSTRACT

In recent years, the information associated with project management in organizations has grown exponentially. Delays, cost overruns, risk management problems in projects are recurrent situations. In this sense, the literature review shows that emerging technologies such as Big-Data and Data-Science have become very important for decision making. The present research is developed in the northeastern region of Colombia - South America. The proposal allowed to evaluate, with qualitative research, the state of incorporation of emerging technologies in companies of the construction sector. This was done through the focus group technique with 20 construction companies selected at convenience. A literature review was also carried out. Among the main results are: Low knowledge and appropriation of the companies of the sector on related technologies, interest in incorporating strategies that allow generating greater value to the productive chain and the intention of initiating R&D&i processes in the field of knowledge.
