This article examines digital transformation in the construction industry, which begins with adopting digital technologies and culminates in comprehensive organizational change. The diverse and often conflicting conceptualizations in this field have created ambiguity in the theoretical framework of digi-tal transformation in construction. Using topic modeling and pattern analysis, this study identifies key themes and trends in the domain. The article analyzes 1,308 articles published between 1990 and 2023 to review research areas related to digital transformation in the construction industry. It identifies six main topics: Security & Safety, Organization & Project Management, Digital Simulation & Interaction, Sustainability, Innovative Building Materials, and Dynamic Monitoring Methods. The analysis reveals that Organization & Project Management is the most researched topic, while Sustainability receives the least attention. The article offers recommendations for advancing research in this field and serves as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners interested in digital transformation in construction. By addressing existing criticisms, it provides a clear map of the field’s structure and trends, comple-menting previous qualitative studies with a broader, more structured, and objective analysis.
