Data intelligence is a field of expertise that involves transforming raw data into actionable information to improve decision-making, optimise processes and enable innovation. The ability to collect and effectively utilise data is the first fundamental step.
Construction projects generate a massive amount of data from various sources: IoT sensors, drones, project management software, etc. However, this data is often scattered, unstructured and of varying quality. The first challenge is therefore to set up robust and consistent collection systems that allow this information to be centralised and standardised.
Once the data has been collected, the real challenge lies in its use. Companies must not only have the right technologies to analyse this data, but also the human skills necessary to interpret the results and draw relevant conclusions. This requires adapting organisational processes.
