In the world of construction, information is power. Accurate and timely data can make the difference between a project that runs smoothly on time, within budget, one fraught with delays, cost overruns, and disputes. Traditionally, construction data recording has relied on manual methods, but the industry is evolving, recognising the immense benefits of digitisation. In this blog post, we'll explore why capturing and recording construction data is crucial, the issues associated with traditional methods, what construction companies aim to gain, and how Oculo can be a game-changer in this regard.
Construction projects generate vast amounts of data, from project plans and budgets to daily logs and material orders. This data is essential for decision-making, accountability, and future planning. Efficient data capture ensures that stakeholders have access to real-time information, enabling them to make informed decisions promptly.
Historically, construction data has been recorded using pen and paper, spreadsheets, physical photography and/or disjointed software systems. While these methods have served the industry for decades, they come with several drawbacks:
