The construction industry is at a crossroads. Faced with rising costs, labour shortages, and increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, construction firms are being asked to do more with less. At the same time, they’re sitting on a goldmine of data—ranging from pre-construction estimates and proposals to design documentation like BIM models, construction site scans and photos, project/ scheduling documentation, and sensor feeds—yet much of it remains underutilised.
