Dodge Data & Analytics 和 Bentley 的新研究表明，基于模型的技術和現場/項目管理軟件可以改善美國土木承包商的項目成果，但目前未得到充分利用

?

新澤西州漢密爾頓 - 2021 年 6 月 21 日 - 今天，Dodge Data & Analytics和合作伙伴 Bentley 發(fā)布了與土木承包商數字技術戰(zhàn)略相關的兩部分報告系列中的第一部分。這份名為“走向數字化：土木建筑 SmartMarket Brief 的建模、調度和現場/項目管理”的初始報告具體介紹了基于模型的技術和現場/項目管理軟件。其調查結果表明，雖然土木承包商有相當大的機會通過更廣泛的技術采用來改善他們的成果，但 39% 的土木承包商目前不使用現場/項目管理軟件，66% 的人不使用基于模型的技術。項目。該報告對此進行了探討，并提供了一些方法來幫助使這些工具在未來更加有效。

?

建模工具的使用相對較少，在使用它們的人中，只有一種自動化的工作流程，即基于模型的數量估算被廣泛使用。在審查其他幾個工作流程（例如模擬 RFP/業(yè)務開發(fā)通信或數字竣工移交給業(yè)主）時，該研究發(fā)現只有大約 30%-40% 的受訪者實際使用基于模型的技術目前采用其中任何一種其他活動。然而，持續(xù)使用這些工作流的承包商報告說，他們從中獲得了很高的價值，并且一旦部署，他們也會在他們的大多數項目中使用這些工作流。

?

研究表明，適度的實施水平也仍然會產生關鍵的項目成果收益，減少返工、改善進度績效、提高利益相關者對項目的理解和提高盈利能力通常是通過基于模型的技術實現的最大收益。此外，83% 的土木承包商報告說，使用這些工具對減少項目進度延誤產生了顯著影響。

?

那些使用現場/項目管理軟件的人還報告了許多好處：

?

61% 的人表示他們從項目數據中獲得了很高/非常高的價值

雖然改進的進度績效是最重要的驅動因素，但提高勞動生產率、成本可預測性/盈利能力和降低成本都是顯著的項目收益

93% 的受訪者認為這些工具對減少進度延誤產生了中等或更高的影響；34% 聲稱高/非常高的影響

65% 的人認為這些工具可以降低建設成本超支的風險

“我們知道美國需要在未來幾年對基礎設施進行重大投資，”道奇數據與分析公司行業(yè)洞察研究高級總監(jiān)史蒂夫瓊斯說。“隨著工作量的增加以及勞動力和供應鏈挑戰(zhàn)繼續(xù)困擾該行業(yè)，承包商需要最大限度地提高生產力、制定可靠的時間表并獲得可靠的利潤水平的方法。這項研究的結果表明，在面臨這些挑戰(zhàn)時，數字技術和資源可以作為其成功戰(zhàn)略的關鍵部分。”

?

基于模型的技術和現場/項目管理工具的用戶都相信，如果與其他軟件和數字資源集成，他們可以從這些工具中獲得更多收益。這支持了承包商日益增長的需求，即超越單點解決方案，采用更全面的方式來整合不同技術及其項目中包含的數據。

?

“正如報告所示，重型土木（水平）建筑在使用基于模型和現場/移動技術方面落后于垂直建筑項目，”產品管理副總裁 Richard Humphrey 說。“這可能歸因于土木項目的空間背景以及土木設計模型創(chuàng)建方式的性質。然而，事實證明，采用來自土木承包商和建筑承包商的最新技術有助于解決這些問題并實現更高的效率、保持項目控制并提供更好的整體項目成果。”

?

此外，該研究還調查了那些尚未使用這些工具的人的態(tài)度。非用戶對現場/項目管理工具的興趣特別高，46% 的人考慮是否經常使用它，另有 17% 的人強烈考慮使用它。那些不使用基于模型的技術的人要謹慎一些，45% 的人考慮偶爾使用它，27% 的人經常考慮使用它。大多數非用戶希望從這兩種類型的工具中獲得好處（即提高盈利能力、降低成本、提高勞動生產率、提高進度績效和提高成本可預測性），以便更積極地實施。

?

“隨著對基礎設施的需求增加和項目變得更加復雜，行業(yè)（即承包商）將無法通過以同樣的方式提供和縮小基礎設施供需之間的差距，”漢弗萊繼續(xù)說道。“土木承包商需要加快采用基于模型的移動技術，以應對這些挑戰(zhàn)，而不是被拋在后面。”

New study from Dodge Data & Analytics and Bentley shows model-based tech and field/project management software improve project outcomes for civil contractors in the U.S., but are currently underutilized

?

HAMILTON, NJ – June 21, 2021 – Today, Dodge Data & Analytics and partner Bentley released the first of a two-part report series tied to digital technology strategies amongst civil contractors. This initial report titled, Going Digital: Modeling, Scheduling and Field/Project Management for Civil Construction SmartMarket Brief, takes a specific look at model-based technology and field/project management software. Its findings show that while there is a sizable opportunity for civil contractors to improve their outcomes with wider technology adoption, 39% of civil contractors currently don’t use field/project management software and 66% don’t use model-based technology for their projects. The report explores this and offers ways to help make the tools even more effective in the future.

?

Use of modeling tools is relatively low, and among those using them, only one automated workflow, model-based quantity takeoff for estimating is widely employed. When reviewing several other workflows (such as simulations for RFP/business development communications or digital as-built handovers to owners), the study found that only about 30%-40% of the respondents actually using model-based technologies currently employ any of these other activities. The contractors who use them consistently, however, report a high level of value derived from them, and once deployed, they use these workflows on the majority of their projects as well.

?

The study reveals that moderate levels of implementation also still yield critical project outcome benefits, and reduced rework, improved schedule performance, improved stakeholder understanding of the project and improved profitability are frequently among the top benefits achieved through model-based technology. In addition, 83% of civil contractors report a notable impact on the reduction of project schedule delays from the use of these tools.

?

Those using field/project management software also report a number of benefits:

?

61% report that they get high/very high value out of their projects data

While improved schedule performance is a top value driver, improved labor productivity, cost predictability/profitability, and reduced costs are all notable project benefits named

93% experience a medium or higher impact from these tools on the reduction of schedule delays; 34% claim high/very high impact

65% believe that these tools reduce the risk of construction cost overruns

“We know that the U.S. needs to make major investments in infrastructure over the next few years,” said Steve Jones, Senior Director of Industry Insights Research at Dodge Data & Analytics. “As the amount of work increases and as the workforce and supply chain challenges continue to plague the industry, contractors need ways to maximize their productivity, have dependable schedules, and have reliable levels of profit. The findings of this study demonstrate the ways in which digital technology and resources can serve as key parts of their strategy for success when facing these challenges.”

?

Users of both model-based technology and field/project management tools believe that they could get more out of these tools if they integrated with other software and digital resources. This supports the increasing need for contractors to move beyond single point solutions to a more holistic means of incorporating different technologies and the data they contain on their projects.

?

“As the report indicates, Heavy Civil (horizontal) construction lags behind vertical building projects in its use of model-based and field/mobile technology,” said Richard Humphrey, VP of Product Management. “This may be attributed to the spatial context of civil projects and the nature of how civil design models are created. Adoption of the latest technology from civil contractors and building contractors, however, is proving to help address these problems and realize greater significant efficiencies, keep projects in control, and deliver better project outcomes overall."

?

In addition, the study examined the attitudes of those not yet using these tools. Interest in field/project management tools among non-users is particularly high, with 46% thinking about whether to use it frequently, and an additional 17% who are strongly considering using it. Those who are not using model-based technology are a little more cautious, with 45% who think about using it occasionally and 27% who consider it frequently. Most non-users would like to realize the benefits (i.e., improved profitability, reduced cost, improved labor productivity, improved schedule performance and improved cost predictability) from both types of tools in order to more actively pursue implementation.

?

“As demand for infrastructure increases and projects become more complex, the industry (i.e., contractors) will not be able to deliver and close the gap between supply and demand for infrastructure by doing things the same way,” continued Humphrey. “Civil contractors will need to accelerate their adoption of Model-based and mobile technology to meet these challenges and not get left behind.”
