Benedict Wallbank, BIM strategy and partnerships manager at Trimble Viewpoint looks at how Trimble Viewpoint’s Field View increased safety, efficiency and productivity during Claridge’s Hotel construction

Trimble Viewpoint just released their latest Q1 2022 Construction Metrics Index, which provides trends related to project starts, hiring, contract values and cash flow metrics pulled from roughly 1,000 North American Viewpoint clients during Q2 of 2022.

The team at Trimble Viewpoint believe the industry needs to scrap the construction silos, because truly connected construction is possible through technology.

Information silos have always been an issue in construction, as many contractors are plagued by separate systems that don’t talk to one another or are reliant on doing things “as they’ve always been done.”

For the professional construction contractor, the goal is always to be successful as a business owner. Undoubtedly, there’s a lot of complexity in reaching that success.

From the field to the office, construction businesses have no shortage of data. While they’re practically drowning in it, many solutions lack the data connections and standardization to drive smarter and more predictive decisions.

We talk glibly about using information accrued during the design and construction processes of a project to build an asset information model to 'operate' the building, but the information required and the management processes involved in each part of the project are somewhat dissimilar, to say the least.

Optimism shone through the numbers in the final 2021 Trimble Viewpoint Construction Metrics Index; but as the year-over-year numbers rolled in from the first quarter of 2022, it was clear that anticipation has cooled. However, there’s still a lot of upward momentum to be found in the quarter-over-quarter construction metrics from Q1 2022.
