The report, titled Improving Performance with Project Data SmartMarket Report: How Improved Collection and Analysis is Leading to the Digital Transformation of the Construction Industry, reveals that contractors believe improvements in field data collection will bring impactful change over the next three years, driving the industry’s digital transformation. If critical business data normalization can be accomplished, the results can increase key project outcomes such as budget, productivity and profitability.
The findings also reveal some important calls to action for continuous improvement in the industry:
“Gathering siloed data from across their organization to analyze and improve project outcomes is a key challenge we work with clients to overcome daily,” said Viewpoint Chief Product & Strategy Officer Matt Harris. “Contractors are demanding easier, better and more consistent collection of data—from the office, across their extended teams and into the field—in order to enable better measurement of project performance and drive toward greater gains.”
The report also points to current and emerging means of gathering data via apps, cameras, sensors and wearables. “We think this is a critical area to watch in the future,” says Steve Jones, Senior Director of Industry Insights Research at Dodge Data & Analytics. “The smarter jobsite will transform the industry, but companies need their data gathering and analytics fundamentals in place before they can fully profit from all of the exciting technology that is now emerging, funded by an influx of venture capital, and directly addressing industry needs to reduce risk, improve productivity and improve safety.”
