With the increasing amounts of data generated from various sources, companies are now aware of the data-driven applications more than ever. In the built environment, building or infrastructural projects are handed over as end-product and these projects are complex. Thus, this data disturbance requires multiple ways of project management practices. The study aims to explore the current state and future uses of data-driven technologies in the construction domain by identifying different project components from the project management stance. The proposed research includes a desk research for data-driven activities in the construction industry and a single case-study methodology which is supported by interviews and a focus group discussion. The study results reveal the importance of each project component on transforming data into information and standards in order to fully implement the technology for different project purposes. Therefore, the research contributes to developing a body of knowledge on data-driven construction management methods by identifying the status quo and serves a starting point for construction managers and researchers regarding data-driven approach.
