Mobile devices and real-time information are revolutionizing project management
Did you know that 96% of all data collected in construction goes unused? Cara Wilczynski addresses this staggering statistic as she delves into the transformation within the construction industry over the past decade. Cara shares her early-career experiences of manually managing project data in a job trailer, contrasting it with today's advancements, where mobile devices and real-time information have revolutionized project management. Despite technological progress, she highlights productivity challenges, with many projects still over budget and behind schedule. Cara emphasizes the importance of a connected construction ecosystem, citing examples like Penta's streamlined processes for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and Barton Malow's use of AI to optimize budgeting. She advocates for a robust data strategy to break down silos and drive transformation, underscoring the need to digitize, invest in data-creating teams, and leverage innovations like AI and digital twins to ensure future scalability and success.
