This study investigates the architectural, operational, and managerial implications of digital transformation in residential construction sites through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and proposes a comprehensive digital site solution architecture. The increasing demands for efficiency, occupational safety, effective resource utilization, and sustainability within the construction industry have accelerated the adoption of digital ecosystems and markedly elevated the importance of real-time, data-driven decision-making processes. Meeting these sectoral requirements necessitates the deployment of integrated technological infrastructures capable of supporting continuous monitoring and intelligent management mechanisms. Accordingly, a systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA protocol to examine the role of IoT, cloud computing, sensor networks and data-centric management approaches in construction operations. Based on the insights derived from the literature, a multi-layered architectural framework, comprising data acquisition, middleware processing, network communication, cloud analytics, and decision-support components, was developed. The proposed architecture enables uninterrupted collection, transmission and analysis of sensor-based data, yielding substantial benefits such as real-time monitoring, workflow optimization, error reduction and enhanced operational efficiency. The originality of this study lies in its conceptualisation of IoT not merely as a technical infrastructure but as an integrated digital management model capable of transforming construction processes. Future work will focus on validating the proposed architecture through expert evaluations and field-based testing, with the aim of evolving it into a practical implementation framework adaptable to various construction site typologies.
