Why Data is at the Heart of Construction’s Digital Transformation

As digital adoption in construction continues to accelerate, companies face new challenges around data. Collection, verification, standardization, and utilization are all vital data processes for every company to implement properly—but where to start? 

During Autodesk University, Eric sat down with Jit Kee Chin, Executive Vice President and Chief Data Officer at Suffolk Construction, to discuss how companies can properly implement data standardization, how data transformation brings value to every level of an organization, and more. 

 We discuss: 

• Contributing factors to the acceleration of construction technology and digital adoption 
• How technology has made transparency easier to achieve 
• Why building trust in data is so important 
• The risks and rewards of data standardization 
• Why organizations need to build trust in the data they collect 
• How Data Democratization empowers workers at every level of an organization
