Looking specifically at estimating, surveying and project tendering, he will explain how some contractors have gained 32 extra hours per tender, per estimator every year, thanks to a new approach to the way they collect, store and share project data.
This frees up time to focus on more strategic activity.
Speaking in advance of his slot, Andy said: “Companies no longer have to rely on unwieldy, bespoke Excel spreadsheets to handle data. Small investments, both in terms of cost and implementation, can have a significant impact on margins, through enhanced productivity and management of cost data and processes.”
The session will also outline how estimators, quantity surveyors and finance directors can manage and share project data through one common system, making information more accurate, more transparent and easier for everyone to access.
The themes are explored in more detail in an upcoming whitepaper: “The importance of data in construction – how focusing on the information within your company will improve your margin.”
Divided into five sections, it will explain how companies can:
- Analyse their current data environment
- Determine the quality of their data
- Understand whether data is being used effectively
- Put a value on data, in terms of cost, strategic management and efficiency
- Prepare for a data-centric future
