Construction industry challenges

Poor productivity – labour productivity has not kept pace with overall economic productivity

McKinsey & Company

Performance challenges – cost and schedule overruns are normal

McKinsey & Company

Digital adoption - amongst the least digitalized of all industries

Docket transformation case study

130,000paper dockets per year

95% of dockets are

electronically generated by the

workforce, saving 110,000 paper

dockets per year and reducing

administrator head count by

8 people$250M p.a. recurring

sustaining gas infrastructure

Docket transformation case study

“With electronic timesheets, you

can reliably use the data

the day after it’s

entered.

The old approach meant you could

be making decisions on half the

data – meaning poor decisions.”

Ernie Downes

Project Controls Manager

“One of the biggest issues with our

industry is poor planning. This takes a

task that doesn’t require any planning

away from the supervisor so they can

really plan the day

… that planning time is

priceless for understanding the job

and from a safety and quality

perspective.”

Construction data

• Better projects outcomes require better decisions

• Better decisions require better information (accurate & timely)

• Construction data is an asset – technology unlocks the value
