Construction Intelligence – Approach And Applications

Background:

Probably collecting massive amounts of data about construction projects is a painful process and repetitive. These kinds of data are around Planning, Cost, BIM, Financial Information, Procurement, Daily Site Reports, Human Capital Information, and more. It’s an overwhelming amount of data to skim, consume and understand. How can we make sense of it all?

Summary:

The use of business intelligence tools and techniques with construction data platforms and processes will definitely be of paramount importance to mastering construction data management, especially, when it’s connected with BIM models via impressive tools and a structured framework.

4D and 5D Construction Simulations have been in the market for a quiet period, but we never asked ourselves:

• Do we really benefit from them in the right way?!
• Are we utilizing all the needed information and data?!
• Are they functional in our projects?!

In this workshop, we will find new and disruptive techniques that will make you simulate time and cost and any construction data needed with the integration of BIM.

For Whom:

This workshop is designed for all kinds of positions and experiences as well, no matter what your experience and position are, what really matters is where and how the data will be collected and integrated together in a single environment.

• Project Engineers
• Construction Managers
• Project Managers
• BIM Experts and Professionals
• Project Control Professionals
