Innovation in Ukraine’s Construction and Postwar Recovery: The Transformative Power of Information Technology

The development of information systems and technologies is important in ensuring the growth of countries. The construction industry, which is a kind of multiplier of living standards and economic development, must be provided with innovative technologies. The high quality of finished buildings plays a determinate role in defining the comfort and livability of properties, serving as key benchmarks for assessing real estate values per capita. Similarly, the development of commercial facilities holds significant sway over entrepreneurial activity and industrial infrastructure. These elements serve as barometers of a country’s economic growth and its competitiveness on both domestic and international scales. The introduction of information technology involves automated design, automation of operational processes directly during the construction and commissioning of the object, digitalization of management processes, and further maintenance of property already in operation. This chapter considers the principles of construction of automated design acceptance systems, which include visualization and automation of calculations in order to increase their accuracy and reliability. Mathematical modeling through the use of automated systems is performed in terms of practical engineering tasks, which allows an increase in accuracy of their quantitative estimates and qualitative characteristics. This is paramount when calculating building structures using modern software to provide design automation. The chapter is central to the postwar reconstruction of Ukraine, as it provides an overview of the software used in construction and analyzes specific projects that have provided solutions to complex engineering and architectural problems throughout the country. As such, the utilized application holds immense potential for aiding the country’s recovery once hostilities have ceased.
