Increased productivity demands data-driven approach
Executive Managing Director, Buildings, Grant Findlay, writes in Construction Management magazine about data and productivity in construction.
In a sector where productivity gains have long lagged behind other industries, the call for a data-driven transformation is louder than ever.
In this compelling piece for Construction Management magazine, Grant Findlay, our Executive Managing Director, Buildings, outlines why construction must not only adopt data-centric practices but also collaborate around data to unlock real value.
Key highlights from the piece include:
- 95% of project data was historically unused – a missed opportunity we can no longer afford.
- AI and analytics are only as powerful as the quality of data they’re fed.
- Structured, accessible, and reliable data is now essential to meet the UK’s ambitious infrastructure goals.
- Cross-team collaboration and upskilling are vital to turning data into actionable insights.
"To streamline the sector, collaboration and shared learning are crucial. Sector-wide initiatives, like the Construction Productivity Taskforce, were established to improve UK construction productivity through data-driven analysis of live projects and to offer a better future by encouraging contractors to define a new way of working with data," Grant writes.
