The construction industry has traditionally been characterised by the high diversity of its agents and processes, high resistance to change and low incorporation of technology compared to manufacturing industries. However, the construction sector is experiencing now a strong renovation process in methodology and tools due to the incorporation of the Building Information Modelling, Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery. Meanwhile, in production systems, “Industry 4.0” is a new paradigm that proposes automation, monitoring, sensorisation, robotisation, and digitalisation to improve production and distribution processes. In this context, some authors have proposed the concept of “Construction 4.0” as the counterpart of Industry 4.0 for the construction sector, although the methodological-technological implications are not clear. This research shows a methodological-technological framework adapted to the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations industry. This papers includes a detailed proposal for a reference frameworks and related technologies that could impact on this sector, responding to its complexities and specific challenges, such as the unique spaces for each work, which are difficult to standardise, arbitrary cost overruns and a productivity far below the average for other industries, increasing competitiveness and globalisation, as opposed to its traditionally local deployment, and an increasing demand to reduce the carbon footprint for all its activities.

与制造业相比，建筑行业传统上的特点是其代理和流程的多样性高，对变革的抵抗力强，技术融合度低。但是，由于结合了建筑信息模型，精益建设和综合项目交付，建筑行业正在经历方法和工具方面的强大革新过程。同时，在生产系统中，“工业4.0”是一种新的范例，提出了自动化，监视，传感器化，机器人化和数字化的方案，以改善生产和分配流程。在这种情况下，尽管方法和技术的含义尚不清楚，但一些作者提出了“建筑4.0”的概念作为建筑业“工业4.0”的对应词。这项研究显示了一种适用于建筑，工程，建筑和运营行业的方法技术框架。本文包括针对可能会影响该部门的参考框架和相关技术的详细建议，以应对其复杂性和特定挑战，例如难以标准化的每项工作的唯一空间，任意成本超支以及生产率过高低于其他行业的平均水平，与传统上在本地的部署相比，竞争力和全球化程度不断提高，并且对于减少其所有活动的碳足迹的需求不断增加。
