Construction companies produce an immense amount of data every day; but are firms actually leveraging this goldmine of insights? New research from Deloitte Access Economics, commissioned by Autodesk, suggests there’s work to be done here. Today, only 20% of construction firms identify as data leaders, with the remaining 80% reporting either beginner or emergent levels of data capabilities.
Connecting technologies and information is crucial for construction firms to transition from data novices to data leaders. They must implement tools that effectively connect dispersed teams, both in the office and in the field, and facilitate collaboration with external stakeholders.
