Construction in 2020
Three economic recovery predictions featured in Construction News this month - https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/agenda/opinion/this-is-the-most-likely-path-the-recession-will-take-02-06-2020/). The source for each scenario is the Construction Products Association (https://www.constructionproducts.org.uk) Perhaps you read this, or have other specific concerns in relation to your upcoming projects?
The CPA predict that the commercial sector will be applying the brakes, and forecast 'hard blows’ to retail, hospitality and leisure sectors. Many projects face a tremendous pressure on delivery - and this is exactly why we want to step up and help out.
As a fellow IT professional, you may agree with us that a sure way to gain on efficiencies ahead will be to manage your data with care and attention. This doesn’t just save time and money, it reduces waste and improves your profit margins. Our clients have maximised their outcomes with TheDevTeam since 1989 (https://www.thedevteam.co.uk/Meet-the-Team)
The DevTeam are a close core of digital professionals (based on the south coast) and partner with construction clients all over the UK. Clients such as Kier, Wates, CBRE, Chubb and others have documented over £2.5bn of construction projects in association with our associate business, Denaploy Manuals (https://www.denaploymanuals.co.uk/howtouse.page)
As designers, developers and deliverers of bespoke software solutions, we also work in data visualisation (https://www.thedevteam.co.uk/Services/Big-Data), so we prefer to see these statistics in actual models than read about the alphabetic shapes of them in editorials! This year, the phrase ‘flattening the curve’ has been ubiquitous (and at times controversial - but that’s another post). Essentially, understanding the value of data is not the topic in question, it is more an issue of how to prepare to use it for commercial advantage.
SO, WHAT DO THEDEVTEAM DO?
TheDevTeam make data earn its keep | we turn business logic into fluid process | we are your partner for a better bottom line.
In our experience, there are three main reasons why some construction companies aren't quite ready to make sense of their data;
1- Too many separate and disorganised internal datasets
2 - IT departments are understaffed (and/or overworked, or perhaps furloughed at the moment)
3 - Decision makers are unable to understand their own data and miss out on better service to customers (losing out on increased sales and missing out a streamlined operation)
The DevTeam create long-term partnerships that add real value and synch with your current departments to future-proof end-to-end systems. To explore how we can help your organisation, please contact us (https://www.thedevteam.co.uk/Contact)
