Yrkesarbetares upplevelser av digitala verktyg i byggbranchen. : Proffessionals´ experiences of digital tools in the construction industry.

Digitization has changed society a lot in recent years. To digitize a company and implementing digital tools means a change in working methods. How successful a company is with an implementation depends on another person's willingness to change. Willingness to change is a concept closely linked to attitudes and motivation. Attitudes are based on an individual's real experiences. Motivation can be seen as an individual's driving engine in change. However, an individual's motivation cannot be influenced but what can be influenced are factors that affect an individual's motivation.   The knowledge of using digital tools can be seen as a "digital language". Being born into a digital world means learning the language from an early age. If you learn the language at a later stage in life, the language skills are put in another part of the memory, which does not provide the same basis for learning the language equally well.   The purpose of this work is to investigate which digital tools are used today and how well the use of digital tools works. The survey also aims to investigate the advantages / disadvantages experienced by professional workers with the digital tool. As well as examine the attitudes of professional workers today and for the future use of digital tools. The study is carried out with the help of a case study / observation to form a true perception. Attitudes are studied with the help of a Likert survey. The Likert survey is the survey that ten professional workers have participated in. The advantages and disadvantages experienced as well as the professionals' future belief in digital tools are studied in two interview surveys, in total fifteen interviews have been conducted. The result and the conclusion of the work shows that the disadvantage that most professional workers experience with digital tools is technical difficulties with the digital tools. The advantage most professional workers experience is the flexibility. The study also showed that age was related to attitudes. Although many older people have participated, there is for the most part a positive attitude to the use of digital tools today and in the future.
