Abstract
The construction industry is undergoing rapid technological transformation, creating new opportunities to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of real estate management. This study examines the integration of modern construction methods like Building Information Modelling (BIM), modular construction, 3D printing, and smart building systems, into property management practices in Latvia. Using a mixed-methods approach that incorporates literature review, policy analysis, case studies, and an expert survey, the study evaluates current adoption levels, perceived benefits, and barriers to implementation. Results show that while BIM and smart building technologies are increasingly used and provide measurable improvements in documentation accuracy, maintenance planning, and energy performance, the uptake of industrialised construction methods remains limited. Key obstacles include high initial investment costs, shortages of qualified specialists, fragmented regulations, and low awareness among building owners. Comparative analysis with leading European countries highlights the importance of national digitalisation strategies, mandatory standards, and capacity-building initiatives. The study concludes that modern construction methods have strong potential to enhance life-cycle–based property management in Latvia, but broader adoption requires coordinated policy measures, financial incentives, and improved digital competence across the sector.
