Construction Business Owner, the leading business magazine for contractors, is pleased to announce a free webinar presented in partnership with Viewpoint.

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.

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.

The construction industry is in the midst of a significant technology transformation as contractors adopt the latest cloud technologies to help enhance operations, automate workflows, streamline data into single streams and extend collaboration beyond the walls of the office. Yet, for an industry that has historically struggled with change, many contractors who have yet to modernize may not know where to start—or how to integrate and maximize their technology investments to get the most out of new solutions put in place.

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 analysed across the construction industry can improve key project outcomes.

Information is power, but are contractors collecting what they need to make better decisions? A new report on how contractors collect and use jobsite data is based on responses from 187 companies.

The ability to gather and analyse project data has improved or improved significantly for nearly two-thirds of the respondents to a survey of construction managers, specialty trade contractors, and design/build firms. The study was conducted by Dodge Data & Analytics and Viewpoint via an online survey.

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 analysed 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.

When it comes to effectively managing today’s complex construction projects, collaboration is the key to success. With large, multi-faceted projects involving the potential for dozens, even hundreds of subcontractors, keeping track of communications, processing data, tracking job progress and changes and managing compliance issues can be a hefty task for even the most skilled project managers and construction lead teams.

The stark message came as the software giant launched its Viewpoint Team project management package in the UK.
