Leverage Data to Contextualize Competitive Construction
Digital engineering and the associated data are transforming the construction industry by enabling organizations to deliver on safety, quality, efficiency, productivity and ultimately projects that are on schedule and budget. Data provides the ability to apply a holistic, consolidated single source of truth that simplifies complex processes and supports best practices, e.g., advanced work packaging (AWP) and BIM. In turn, this enables all levels of the organization and ecosystem partners to achieve complete visibility of all aspects and details affecting the execution of projects. This helps to improve decision-making, collaboration and with establishing a foundation for successful asset and facilities management during the operations and maintenance (O&M) phase of the facility.
In the face of recent inflationary pressures eroding project margins, profitability and supply chain disruptions, we have experienced domestic market consolidation. Adding to this is talent shortages, the entrance of overseas players and businesses having to compete to win projects. The construction industry is under ever-increasing pressure to drive competitive advantage. Instead of driving prices down, the savvier in the industry are choosing to win and profit in other ways. For example, delivering safety, quality, efficiency, and productivity through projects that are on schedule and on budget or that are profitable by improving the complex operating environment.
Many industry leaders within construction are looking for new ways to claim a competitive advantage with digital transformation. With the construction phase of projects equating to approximately 80% of an asset’s total installation costs, this phase is our biggest opportunity to affect the schedule and budget positively.
