Analysis of Industry 4.0 and the Building Inspection System in the Republic of Türkiye's Applications

Abstract

Since the enactment of Law No. 4708 on Building Inspection, developments have taken place in the construction sector in Türkiye in terms of material production, their usage in construction sites, construction stages, project management, and implementation, which have led to the need for changes in the inspection field. In this study, the Building Inspection process was classified under seven headings within the scope of the Regulation. The fundamental problems in these headings were analyzed with research methods in the literature. Based on the information, which digital transformation technologies are included in the current practices and which ones are missing have been identified. Collaborations with which technology can solve existing problems have been interpreted, and solutions have been proposed to complete the shortcomings that may be experienced in the inspection field. It has been determined that Industry 4.0 Technologies should be adapted to every step of the inspection process for a healthy inspection system.
