There is a data transformation occurring in the construction industry as emerging technologies and solutions are empowering contractors to collect increased detail on their projects—and do more with this information. These technologies are changing the very way contractors across all disciplines operate, leading to smarter, safer construction projects and higher profit margins.

For a growing number of contractors, the need to better leverage data has become a priority. In a recent Viewpoint and Dodge Data & Analytics report, 64 percent of contractors reported improvements in data gathering and analysis capabilities on construction projects in the last three years. More than half noted improved ability to complete projects at or under budget and nearly half experienced improved productivity.

A lot has changed over the past few months. How the world lives and works has been abruptly shifted as a new reality spurred by COVID-19 pandemic settles in. Among the biggest impacts has been instability in economies across the world, as significant business disruptions have occurred in virtually every major market and vertical.

Contractors have their hands full today managing people, processes and projects across multiple jobsites—each with their own unique sets of contractual, procedural and environmental challenges. Since contractors often operate with razor-thin profit margins and unsteady cash flows, having an accurate understanding of job costs is vital to success.

Technology is changing how the Built World plans, manages, and executes projects. While you may have seen the BuiltWorlds research report on advanced machinery and equipment or our Analyst Call featuring innovative IoT solutions on the jobsite, innovative built tech solutions continue to be developed and used to address critical enterprise-wide and project-specific operational, management, and intelligence needs, too.

Today, advances in technology provide contractors with real-time information and a single source of truth across the business. By moving from manual processes and spreadsheets to modernized operations, it’s easier to collect, analyze, and share data.

The Service Tech mobile app from Viewpoint Software is an easy-to-use tool to manage and review work orders, assign and update labor, collect electronic signatures, upload job site photos and forms, and other essential functions.

From construction to government, Oregon’s tech engineers are dreaming up incredible new ways to put software to good use, giving credence to Portland’s nickname “The Silicon Forest.” Viewpoint delivers a number of cloud-integrated software platforms to companies in the construction business so they can contract labor and manage projects with more ease.
