Hendry’s General Manager Risk Gaurav Bhalla will be presenting on the topic of:

Construction Analytics: Mitigating risk and optimising assets via integration of AI and ML to enhance productivity and boost business performance

• Predicting cost overruns based on factors such as project size, contract type and the competence level of project managers
• Remotely accessing real-life training material which helps them enhance their skills and knowledge quickly
• Monitoring and prioritizing risk on the job site, so the project team can focus their limited time and resources on the biggest risk factors

Many E&C firms attempt to incorporate new technologies into their daily activities, but most of their efforts to digitize still tend to fall short. Why? That’s because a construction project typically involves multiple independent subcontractors and suppliers, which have little incentive to embrace new methods for one-off projects, so it’s often a struggle to implement tools they can apply repeatedly. This leads to the E&C sector consistently being one of the world’s least digitized and progressive.

Premature technological implementations only lead to further costs and burdens, and 35% of costs in E&C already comprise of waste material and remedial work! Firms, however, can buck this trend of bad investments if they seriously consider Big Data strategies. According to KPMG’s Future-Ready Index, the two technologies with the highest adoption rates amongst the top 20% E&C companies are BIM (86%) and basic data analytics (83%). These firms are leveraging valuable insights extracted from raw digital data to become true innovators in the industry, seeing their project costs and timelines being reduced significantly.

Rather than simply choose technology to help in the short term, the most effective step for E&C firms to take is to shore up their most vital processes first – the retrieval, collection, and analysis of information. For this sector to prove that it is capable of achieving true digital transformation, company executives and project managers must start with a clear definition of how digital can create value for the business and then introduce specific solutions to solve fundamental problems from the ground up.
