4. No single source
of truth
Jobsites are busy places, with sometimes thousands of people
managing various aspects of the work using different tools and
applications. Because these tools and applications don't talk to
each other, no one has a single source of truth to look to when
questions arise. As a result, contractors not only lack visibility
into key data, they're often reacting to situations rather than
strategically acting on information.
"So many people manage different aspects of the job with different
tools and applications that no one knows really what the truth is,"
Wright said. "The foreman has a different understanding than the
engineer and the back office because they're all looking at different
information on the same job."
