Despite advances in recent years in the state of digital data management in construction, a new report from Dodge Data & Analytics with Viewpoint Construction Software shows there is still a great deal of work to be done.

The construction sector is increasingly reliant upon digital data in order to make informed decisions about capital projects. Concerns have been flagged, in a new report, about the reliability of this data.

A new report released today by Dodge Data & Analytics, in collaboration with construction management software provider Viewpoint, a Trimble company, reveals a sea change in the way project data is gathered and analyzed across the construction industry—change that is poised to improve key project outcomes according to construction managers, specialty trade contractors and design/build firms surveyed.

The construction industry is experiencing a wave of change in how project data is gathered and analyzed across the industry, according to a report released by Dodge Data & Analytics in collaboration with construction management software provider Viewpoint.

A report from Dodge Data & Analytics and Viewpoint, Improving Performance with Project Data Smart Market Report: How Improved Collection and Analysis is Leading to the Digital Transformation of the Construction Industry, says the way project data is gathered and analyzed across the construction industry can improve key project outcomes.

While the good old spreadsheet may have launched and sustained many a construction business, contractors are increasingly turning to the cloud and more advanced software to update, access and analyze their records.

For contractors, the lifeblood of their business is the construction project itself. How projects are managed can make or break the company. Project managers are often the most important—and most scrutinized—role in the construction organization.

A new report from Dodge Data and Analytics provides some interesting insight into how contractors are collecting and using data from the field. The report, “Improving Performance with Project Data: How improved collection and analysis is leading the digital transformation of the construction industry,” is based on interviews with 187 construction industry players, mostly general contractors and specialty trade contractors.
