Construction projects generate an enormous amount of data, from design and engineering to operations. Without proper standardization, this data can become a liability rather than an asset. Without a set of procedures that can be repeatable with results that can be measured, you simply won’t have a way to tell how well your team is performing – and each project will be making its own decisions, leading to poor data quality.
