Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integrative role of innovative management approaches (Agile and Lean methodologies) and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving the efficiency of managing large-scale urban construction projects. The study examines the impact of these tools on key performance variables, namely cost reduction, schedule compression, and the improvement of decision-making quality. The research is further expanded to include theoretical frameworks for technology adoption (DOI and TOE), as well as the ethical and governance challenges associated with the use of AI. The study adopts a descriptive–analytical methodology and is applied to a sample of project managers in major construction companies. The results reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between the adoption of innovative management practices and AI technologies and the improvement of project delivery efficiency. The study recommends that companies invest in developing digital competencies and adopt flexible and ethical governance frameworks to ensure the optimal utilization of these technologies.
