Abstract: Collecting accurate data is necessary for continued success in the construction industry, and when it comes to claims and dispute resolution, the bar is raised.Supporting data is now open to critique by opposing attorneys, other experts, and possibly a jury.If data issues are exposed, credibility is quickly lost, and the results of inaccurate information could be damaging to the dispute.
Obtaining reliable information can be challenging, especially as it relates to labor and equipment.Difficulties exist when allocating workers and equipment to multiple tasks. Also, determining whether the equipment was operating, idle, or on standby can be difficult to justify.
Data collection efforts can be very time-consuming and costly and may still yield inconsistencies.This is one area in which improved technical capabilities can help.More reliable and enhanced data may be possible by combining high-tech solutions such as equipment telematics, drones, geo-fencing, and online software platforms into a well-integrated system capable of producing consistent and reliable data.
Since construction disputes can be very costly, finding solutions to better remedy issues can be extremely helpful to contractors.In addition, improved data collection methods and information may also result in lessons learned, improved estimates and schedules, and possible future claims avoidance.
