Construction Project Data

The construction industry is on the cusp of a digital revolution, with the adoption of advanced technologies like AI and automation transforming the way projects are managed. However, as the industry becomes increasingly reliant on data, a new challenge has emerged: making sense of the vast amounts of information being generated.

A recent report by RICS highlights the need for easier access to project data, and the numbers are staggering. Hexagon Multivista's 2025 figures show that its customers captured 15,525,207 photos and 384,279 scans in a single year. But despite the sheer volume of data being collected, construction teams are still struggling to make timely decisions.

The problem is not the lack of data, but rather the difficulty in accessing, understanding, and using it quickly enough to make informed decisions. This is what is known as decision friction, and it is a major obstacle to efficient project management. When project information is fragmented and difficult to interpret, teams may spend valuable time confirming what is true before they can decide what to do next.

For contractors and owners, disconnected data can have serious consequences, affecting everything from response times to field conditions to stakeholder alignment. The conversation is shifting from collecting more data to creating better project intelligence, and solutions like Hexagon Multivista Hub are leading the way.

Hexagon Multivista Hub brings project data into one connected, contextual experience, allowing teams to reduce the distance between what is happening on site and what needs to happen next. The hub provides centralized access to project information, making it easier for teams to find and navigate the data they need. As it expands, the hub will bring additional workflows, Analyze service capabilities, and AI-powered ways to search and interact with data.

The value of solutions like Hexagon Multivista Hub lies not in replacing the expertise of project teams, but in making the information around them easier to access and understand. By reducing decision friction and turning fragmented project information into relevant, contextual construction intelligence, construction teams can make more informed decisions, faster.

The implications of this shift are significant, and will be felt across the industry. As construction teams become more adept at leveraging data to inform their decision-making, we can expect to see increased efficiency, improved collaboration, and better outcomes. The future of construction is data-driven, and it is an exciting time to be a part of this industry.
