The construction industry has always thrived on data, with builders relying on a multitude of data points to meticulously plan, execute, and successfully complete projects. However, despite this data-rich environment, a significant portion of invaluable data often remains dormant, overlooked, and underutilized.

Astonishingly, a staggering 96% of construction data goes entirely unused, according to an FMI report. This statistic is disheartening, especially in contrast with other industries that consider data as the holy grail, particularly in the realm of risk management.

The true value of data-driven operations shines most brilliantly in the context of civil and infrastructure projects. Given the immense scale, inherent risks, and complex operational nature of these projects, the ability of heavy civil and infrastructure builders to harness the full potential of their data becomes not just beneficial, but imperative.

This leads us to a compelling question: How can you determine if you’re truly optimizing your data’s potential? And what does the entire journey toward achieving a more data-driven approach entail? In this article we delve deep into the concept of data maturity as it pertains to civil and infrastructure builders and also uncover how it influences projects and shapes outcomes.
