Caldwell Marine’s construction software system by Viewpoint helped keep the project on schedule by centralizing and providing complete visibility into the project’s financial data, giving both on-site and out-of-state team members easy access to project data.

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.

While it's important for construction pros to stay up to date on the latest trends and technologies, who has time for a class or book? Another form of learning — podcasts — lets listeners absorb insights and tips on the go.

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.

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 analyse their records. That’s the findings of a new survey from Dodge Data & Analytics in collaboration with Viewpoint, a construction management software provider owned by Trimble.

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.

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

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.
