Contractors understand that using the right tool for the right job can compensate for a lack of physical strength, height, or skill. The same principle applies to the tools we utilize for collecting data from job sites. Small and medium businesses are able to compensate for the lack of financial clout or physical equipment with the right technology.
While construction technology has shifted so that everyone in the industry can collect live field data, not everyone understands the true value that leveraging real-time data adds to job site productivity and ultimately, the bottom line. That’s why WorkMax developed the Live Field Data Usage Report—to create a snapshot of the construction industry’s data collection methods and outcomes across the board. The company compared data practices of small, medium and large contractors and focused on six key field data collection types for employee labor hours, safety reporting, daily progress reporting, equipment tracking, production, and job cost allocations.
