Integrating BIM, process mining, and Artificial Intelligence for intelligent project governance in construction

The increasing complexity of construction projects requires more integrated and data-driven approaches to project governance. Emerging technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Process Mining (PM), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer significant potential to improve planning, monitoring, and decision-making. However, these technologies are often adopted in isolation, which limits their impact on project governance. This paper proposes the Intelligent Project Governance (IPG) framework, which integrates these emerging technologies within a project management perspective aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide. The framework connects digital models, execution data, and predictive analytics to improve transparency, support proactive risk management, and enable evidence-based decision-making throughout the construction project lifecycle.
