**1. Introduction and Aim of the Special Issue**

Construction project management is a multidimensional discipline that requires meticulous consideration of various critical aspects, including cost, quality, schedule requirements, as well as social and environmental impacts, and broader stakeholder interests. In recent years, the field has encountered challenges and opportunities arising from the adoption of emerging technologies, novel materials, advanced methods and processes, and complex contractual arrangements. One notable example is the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in project management, which has received considerable attention [1–3]. Consequently, construction project management is poised to leverage the benefits of digital transformation within the Industry 4.0 paradigm [4,5] while embracing new technologies and management systems to promote sustainable development [6,7].

The Special Issue of the *Buildings* journal, titled "Tradition and Innovation in Construction Project Management," serves as a platform to showcase cutting-edge international research and development in this important field. The issue aimed to explore the interplay between tradition and innovation in construction project management and identify new research studies and practices that harness the potential of digital technologies and drive sustainable development across the sector.
